Design is rarely a priority for the beginner woodturner, and most turners in their early work begin by concentrating on technique rather than shape or form, which can prove counter-productive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile aiming to instil confidence in appreciating, criticising, and selecting sources of inspiration, Derek doesn't tell you what is good or bad but rather questions why we may find one turning attractive and another ugly. He looks closely at design elements, sketching, proportion, pattern, open forms, enclosed forms, the foot, the rim, using wood, decoration, and colour; with instructive diagrams and photographs that will guide the reader to a better understanding of design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReaders are encouraged to question and fine-tune this understanding and experiment with ways of applying the approaches of other designers to their own work. Where inspiration is found is not important, but how we transform what is seen into something which is definitely our own is what matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter starts with a photographic example of what Derek sees as good design in a medium other than woodturning. The pieces are not 'deconstructed' to justify his choice but are there to serve as a reminder to the turner, as David Ellsworth has said, '...to look for design choices with critical awareness'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWoodturning Design\u003c\/em\u003e is the result of Derek's journey through art and craft, informed by his diverse career. After an initial career in electronic engineering, Derek taught yoga, became a full-time teacher in mathematics and computing at a local secondary school, and then had a long career in adult education, where he met with professional artists and craftspeople. This fired his interest in craft and led to him taking up woodturning in the mid-90s, which has now become his first love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the previous year, Derek has written various articles for magazines, including ten for GMC's \u003cem\u003eWoodturning\u003c\/em\u003e magazine. He lives in Tonbridge, Kent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available: \u003cem\u003eWoodturning Full Circle\u003c\/em\u003e 9781861085313\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Bateman Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854414729452,"sku":"9781861088659","price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2956a3010e49b3389deb2edde89feaf1.jpg?v=1759270566"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/d-hayes.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
