Le Artisan – JOHN MITCHELL

John lives and works in the Dordogne, South West France. Set midway between Angoulême, capital of the Charente and Périgueux the capital of the Dordogne, and, in our humble opinion, one of the most beautiful parts of France.

The setting of his atelier “l’ame du bois” is spectacular with uninterrupted panoramic views and an abundance of wild life, and is where John creates individual wood turnings that are pieces of art, yet some also have functional uses.

Early in John's wood turning, he explored the avenues of treen, such as salt and pepper mills and salad bowls, for home and friends. One day he realised the type of turning he wanted to specialise in. He scaled up, got a larger workshop, a larger lathe and started buying in whole trees. Now he focuses mainly on large, one-of-a-kind vases, bowls, platters, hollow forms and more recently wall sculptures. Sometimes he likes to add drama and interest by incorporating additional features such as metals, ceramics, carving, colour, bleaching or even burning (ebonising) areas of the wood.

Wall Sculptures came about when John realised that there was another alternative to filling wall spaces with picture art in homes and public buildings.

For example, tapestries have been shown on walls for many centuries usually taking up large areas of walls. Wood has now been proved a wonderful media in its natural form or enhanced as described above. John has taken this opportunity to show his form of art and has adapted and combined some or all these other forms of enhancements into his wall sculptures.

Wall Platters are large platters, when not in use, they can be hung on the wall as works of art the same way as the wall sculptures above.

Although their main use is on the table top for decoration or fruit etc, they are equally at home stored on the wall as art.

Floor bowls are extra large bowls and if there is no other use for them then they can be left on the floor for storage of news papers, magazines or what ever use one can think of.
