Turning of the week for June 20, 2022

[odie]

For this week's TOTW, I have chosen Mike Gibson's "White Tea".

I'm surprised that one of Mike's turnings hasn't been previously chosen, because it's obvious that he is a perfectionist in everything he does.....and, he does it very well, indeed! Mike apparently chooses a theme, and explores the many possibilities with great enthusiasm. There has been many tea pots before this one.....every one a work of art!

I particularly like his carved and pierced natural leaves.

Great choice, Odie, and congratulations @Mike Gibson for yet another spectacular teapot.

 

[Emiliano Achaval]

I could not agree more on this one Odie! Mike is a fantastic artist and an inspiration. Those that have tried making a teapot or adding handles to a turning know how difficult it is to do a good job. Congratulations @Mike Gibson

Great choice

@Mike Gibson I think you nailed the porcelain.
Terrific piece!

If this is a “feeble” attempt, can’t wait to see one when you really try….

 

[Russ Braun]

Great statement Odie and nice selection as well!! I might add “go figure”!

Michael is a regular attendee on the Zoom Coffee Hour that John Kelsy moderates every Thursday morning at 10 a.m. If interested, email John (member here) for Zoom invite. Michael shares freely how he creates these stunning works of art.

Good choice, Odie. Mike's work is on a whole 'nuther level!!! I really like his carved leaf pieces.
Congrats, Mike.

I'm not surprised that you've been chosen before, Mike.....

The list that was prepared for the TOTW team doesn't have you on it. It must have been awhile since the last time you were chosen for the TOTW, so it's time for you to be on the new list!
