Tall, Elegant Vessels Form: Vision to Reality
Ken will demonstrate how to create tall, elegant vessels from "napkin sketches" to pieces of art displayed in galleries. Involved in the creation are thin hollowing techniques, lathe-turned mortise and tenon joints, floating rings, ebonizing processes, and bondo. He works to close tolerances with precise planning. The resulting pieces seem to sell easily for very respectable prices.
In 1995 after a 35-year career in marketing, Ken Keoughan immersed himself in the world of wood art. Since then, his work has appeared in myriad shows and galleries in Maine. In 2004 he initiated the successful Woodturning Program at Round Top Center for the Arts in Damariscotta, Maine. He participated in the "Woodworkers of Mid-coast Maine," an invitational show at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Maine in 2004 and 2005. His work was featured in 500 Wood Bowls: Bold & Original Designs Blending Tradition and Innovation, Lark Books. He is a former contributing editor of American Woodturner.
