Jack Smith, Woodturner

Jack Smith is a woodturner from Dublin 8. Self taught, he enjoys pushing limits and experimenting with materials. He prefers to use locally sourced wood drawing inspiration from the craftsmen of the ancient orient. His shapes are dictated by playing with the challenges of scale, depth and wood variety. Jack’s work includes large and small scale table-wear, decorative vessels and light shades. One of Jack’s great passions is teaching his craft. He is currently woodturning instructor at The Yard Solas Project, Dublin 8.
