Jimmy Clewes Demonstration Information

Jimmy Clewes Bio

Jimmy is not your ordinary woodturner.  Upon a first meeting one would think

of him as a renegade, a free thinker and not within the stereotypical image

of a woodturner   His charming British style, unending wit, creative mind

and magnetic personality are only some of the attributes that make him

popular in the woodturning demonstration circuit.

Jimmy is on the Register of Professional Woodturners in the United Kingdom

and has over 21 years of experience in woodturning and woodworking. The

demand for his services as a freelance demonstrator takes him all across the

United Kingdom, Europe , New Zealand , as far as the Falkland Islands and

now the United States and Canada. 

It was not long after leaving school at the age of 16, Jimmy attained an

apprenticeship in engineering and decided to further his studies by

attending Manchester Polytechnic.  He received a 2:1 Honours Degree with

special emphasis on learning 3-Dimensional Design.He Studied Wood Metal

Ceramics and Glass.  With that focus, he began to specialize in designing

and making furniture which was influenced by Japanese tools and design.

He now lives in the US

Artist Statement

Molly Winton, www.turningmaven.com, has been turning wood since 1998, and delving into various surface enhancement techniques (primarily pyrography and branding), since 2003. She has a strong commitment to form, and believes this is essential above all else. Teaching and sharing turning and enhancement techniques is also a passion, and when her busy family life allows, she travels to various clubs and symposiums to share her work. Inspirations for enhancements have been derived from an interest in Native American art, as well as primitive, prehistoric, cave art. Her work has been a part of many exhibits, and is available through various galleries.
