On Saturday, June 14 – Father’s Day – from noon to 3 p.m. Joaz Hill will be at Archipelago, the Island Institute’s retail store on Rockland’s Main Street, demonstrating the art of woodturning. Joaz’s work reflects his passion for innovation and experimentation.

Over the years, he has found that the characteristics of the wood itself often dictate the shape and style of the piece. One of the joys of woodturning is discovering the hidden beauty within the grain and color. Burl especially contains surprises that can either please the artist or condemn the piece to the woodstove. Joaz Hill’s finished pieces are signed and marked with the type of wood used. Meet Joaz Hill and see the beautiful pieces he has created with a little help from Mother Nature. For more information, please call Archipelago at 596-0701.
