GATEWAY GALLERY IN CLAYTON PRESENTS “The Beauty of Southern Germany”, November 21, 2012 – January 4, 2013.
The woodwork of Arnold
(Arnie) Heuvelman will be featured at the Gateway Gallery November 21, 2012
through January 4, 2013. Arnie has studied under some of the best woodturners
in St. Louis, Utah, North Carolina, and other schools in the country. Now he looks at a tree and can see the beauty,
learning that same tree is where the art of a bowl starts. He has come to love finding trees with
imperfections - meaning rotten wood. Taking
something that is starting to go back to mother earth and making a bowl,
learning how to cut that tree in such a way so the grain makes the article
you’re making is an art in its self. Arnie
uses every section making things like spinning tops or Christmas bird houses. When looking at his bowls please pick them up
and feel them. Remember this piece came
from something that took 30, 40 or even 50 years to grow. If you take the proper care it will last
another 50 years. Arnie is a member of
Best of Missouri Hands, American Association of Woodturners, St. Louis Woodturners,
Show Me Woodturners, and has spent the last 4 years doing demos at Silver Dollar
City and doing shows as far away as Connecticut and Iowa.
