Stephen is an Appleton, Maine turner with extensive experience in faceplate and spindle work, gained over an 19-year woodworking career that has included architectural millwork and bowl-making. Currently, he specializes in turned and dyed vessels that explore the patterning possibilities of Baltic birch plywood. Stephen's work is represented by the del Mano Gallery in Los Angeles and the Dane Gallery on Nantucket, among others. Prior teaching includes demonstrations for the American Association of Woodturners' national symposium and the 2003 New England Woodturning Symposium, as well as courses at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship.
“Like most things that are worth doing, turning plywood on the lathe is not easy. But it gets easier, more fluid, with every piece I make. Every piece takes me to the next idea. The next refinement of design. No two pieces are alike.”
