About the Demo
'ZenBellishing'
"During the demo I'll demonstrate and explain the process that I use to embellish my work.
I’ll start with a turned piece ready to carve using Foredom and micro carvers.
Then wood burning to add more detail.
I’ll explain the last steps to prepare for the coloring technique and finish."
Rick is an accomplished wood turner that has lived in Memphis since 1968.
Rick has spent time with notable wood turners like Michael Mode, Malcolm Tibbetts, Ray Key and David Marks, Graeme Priddle and others. Most of his works involves time at the lathe, but uses any of the tools associated with a carpenters shop.

He has won merit awards at the Pink Palace Arts in the Park and participated in three different Best of Tennessee Art Shows. His work is in a permanent collection of the Tennessee Museum of Art and was recently shown at Arrowmont (2024).
