	Description:		Anne-Maria on Woodwork as a Woman and In Groups appeared first on Hardware for Creative Finishes I was fortunate to speak with Anne-Maria and she is a long time experienced craftsperson and has done a lot with ceramics in the past but more recently turned her attention to wood products and creating things with woodturning, like she’s done some pepper grinders. And increasingly she’s interested in doing woodturning and woodwork as art, and being displayed in galleries not so much for sort of mini mass production of items. A really interesting lady and I hope that you pick up on some of the ideas that she shared. And I was especially interested to find out what sort of difference does she feel it’s made for her to be a woman in the woodworking world when it is still, and to a large part, male-oriented. Especially it seems in the woodturning sort of machinery type of part of woodturning is that whilst there are women who are participating in that, they’re still not anything close to a gender balance, or at least not from what I’ve heard or observed. But that is changing and certainly it seems that for the most part, the groups that are doing woodturning are very inclusive and very happy to have the gender neutral and are not particularly male-dominated. And I mention that’s something that’s changing in society in general. And it was nice to hear that Anne-Maria has got a lot in terms of making friendships and sharing experiences with people in the woodturning groups that she’s been a part of as well. http://themuseagency.wordpress.com/ Hardware for Creative Finishes -
