Woodturning artist Nick Agar's large-scale, multi-textured turned wood sculptures, created
at his riverside studio and gallery in Devon, have earned him
a reputation for producing highly individual, beautifully crafted art.
Having a vast understanding of his medium and preferring to buy
the whole tree rather than a plank of wood, Nick chooses intriguing
wind blown or dead timber for the majority of his work, using burrs
and burls - exposing treasures beneath the bark.
Inspired by organic forms, pottery, and his natural surroundings,
he specialises in hollow forms and large diameter work,
and is renowned for his wall sculptures in particular.
His award-winning work often incorporates carving, weaving and metalwork.
In addition to exhibiting widely and appearing at international conferences both as a demonstrator
and a judge, Nick is in constant demand for commissions
from collectors, his wide range of clients including HRH Prince of Wales, Dukes, Duchesses and
the Royal jewellers, Aspreys.
He and his work have also featured on BBC and ITV lifestyle television programmes.
He is an elected member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, and a
Registered Professional Turner.
