ELIZABETH WEBER

I am a woodturning instructor and spoon carver who lives in Seattle, WA. I began woodworking in 2015, and some of my first creations included several pieces of furniture in the Arts & Crafts style. I eventually turned to smaller objects and now specialize in bowls, spoons, and boxes. My skills range from natural finish and simple forms to highly carved and painted forms that emulate natural motifs. I serve as club president for my local woodturning club, the Seattle Woodturners, and I help run the local spoon club chapter, the Seattle Spoon Club. I was awarded the American Association of Woodturner’s 2023 Professional Outreach Program’s Artist Showcase as an emerging artist.

My first foray into the industry included production work right around the time of the pandemic, batching out products for clients

These days, I rarely do production style work as my focus has shifted to a more artistic approach. I carve and add textures to my pieces for galleries, shows, and potential clients

What sets me apart is that my work is heavily carved, textured and colored.

I use bright colors to evoke happiness and emotion, using milk paints and acrylics to complete my work. I spent most of my life following the rules, so playing around with colors allows me to start challenging some conventionally accepted norms in woodturning and begin conversations. I do believe that color is nature’s way of smiling.
