Turning Lake Designs

Turning Lake Designs Bill is the woodturner and Merodie (Mimi) is the potter in this family! of Northern Colorado, art teacher and retired to play in mud!

Bill a seasoned self-taught turner of 22 yrs, Merodie has over 40 yrs experience in ceramics, graduate of Univ. We would like to share with you a little bit of the fun we have in our shops. Bill enjoys the surprise he finds in side of every bowl he turns, as each piece is a little different, even from the same log. Mimi or Merodie (her formal name) enjoys the challenge in creating a new piece of

pottery. It is more about the process of making than the satisfaction of a finished piece. With Bills woodturning it is so rewarding to see the final piece, feel it and look at the amazing grain, pattern or individuality each piece has. If you come to our shop you will find a large variety of wood bowls, and textured hand-built and wheel thrown pottery. Great for wedding and gift giving! Once you have been to the shop you will want to stop again!
