Headshot

As an EAC faculty member for eight years, I've had the pleasure of introducing many people to the joy of making beautiful and functional pieces on a lathe. Classes are small and the teaching individualized--no prior experience in woodworking required.

Bob's craftwork features bowls and other items turned from woods local to Evanston and the surrounding area. Through arrangements with local tree trimmers and the City of Evanston, he takes beautiful hardwoods such as maple, walnut, cherry, pear and birch, and gives them new life and purpose.
