Default Musing: Art vs Woodturning

There are the pyrographers, cut and paste, paint and shine and all kinds
of types who create art out of their turnings. Some even draw plans.


Here is another example that makes my previous point. George's comment
above implies that art is something you do after turning, that the turning
can't be, or is void of, art. Another way of saying this is, "A turning
isn't art, but might be the canvas for art." I disagree.

I think I am correct in saying that the premise behind The Wood Turning
Center is that turnings CAN be art sometimes, even without the
post-processing George mentions. http://www.woodturningcenter.org/


Nope, not implied or agreed. People can create or discover. I merely
stated that I haven't the desire or ability to create.
