Barbara Crockett has been creating
lathe turned wood art since 1999. Each unique piece
is hand shaped and hollowed on a wood lathe from
native as well as exotic woods. After fine sanding,
finish and wax are applied using a three step buffing
process which produces a tactile and lustrous piece.
As an active member of the American Association of Wooturners, as well as their
local affiliates; Central Ohio Woodturners and Ohio
Valley Woodturners Guild, Barbara has exhibited her
work and performed demonstrations at both local and
regional symposiums for Ohio Valley Woodturners Guild
Turning 2003, 2005 and 2007 and for the Southern
States Symposium in April of 2008. Her works, "Off Base", and "Rescued" have been selected to be part of AAW exhibits titled "Step Up To The Plate" and "Turned Green". In addition, two of her pieces are currently part of "The Best of 2008" exhibit
sponsored by Ohio Designer Craftsmen. Barbara has
exhibited and sold her work at the Worthington and
Upper Arlington Art Festivals as well as Artistry
In Wood in the Dayton area since 2004. In May she
completed her second term as President of the Central
Ohio Woodturners in Columbus, Ohio.
In addition to the art of woodturning, Barbara is a retired middle school band
director and former member of the Columbus Symphony
Orchestra. She still enjoys performing at Liberty
Presbyterian Church and with Worthington Civic Band.
