Here are a few of the bud vases (tallest about 5 1/4") that I will have at my booth this weekend at @cheesmanartfest! These are variously known as weed pots, bud vases, or dry flower vases. We woodturners borrowed the concept from ceramicists I think, and I'm not sure where it fits in to their practice, but in ours they are typically a beginner project (indeed they are the class project in my intro classes), and many woodturners do one or two before forgetting about them entirely in favor of pursuing more technically complex work. I think that's a shame, because much like a constant sketching practice for the 2D artist, these little guys have a lot to teach the woodturner about form and design and tool control! Plus they are just delightful little art objects in and of themselves. Scroll though to see some of the various "families" of different variations of the forms that I like and come pick out a set for yourself this weekend! #woodturning #woodworking #vases #denverartist #artfestival #walnutwood #cherrywood #handmadeart #denverthemilehighcity #denveractivities #artshows #homedecor
