For Lou

My mother, who went by the nickname, “Lou” from the time she was a child, was an avid crafter. She spent her years in retirement preparing for craft shows that, unfortunately, just didn’t happen. When I took up woodturning, she was very interested in and supportive of my progress. For the last several years, we had been separated by some distance, and she had never held one of my pieces. I was preparing a bowl for her as a gift, when she passed away suddenly in October of 2020. While settling her estate, I decided that I would put myself out there with my newfound passion, and when I began selling my creations, I would dedicate it to her. Thus, forloustudio was born.

Helen Bailey Interview:

Helen Bailey is a woodturner from Newcastle Upon Tyne in the North East of England. Helen states that woodturning was not a hobby that she ever thought about trying. It was  when visiting her local club with her dad Neville that the seed was sown, Neville invited Helen along to watch a demonstration on turning pens and the rest, as they say, is history. Enthralled by what was demonstrated, Helen had purchased her first lathe within days of watching the demonstration.

Although only turning for a limited time Helen’s work has received many accolades already in her short career. A regular  contributor to the world of woodturners website (https://www.thewows.com/), Helen has had the majority of her entries featured as the cover of the day.
