Turning Point
Woodturning's Evolution from Ancient Craft to Fine Art Rebecca Cole Gallery Featuring 49 works from Gulf Coast artists, Turning Point is a fascinating overview of masterworks in this ancient field of artistry that has undergone significant changes. Though the origin of woodturning dates to 1300 BC, the continued improvement of machinery and technology has allowed craftsmen to develop work with continued levels of intricacy and skill, truly raising this lathe-based technique from craft to fine art.
