This title uses instructive diagrams & photographs to instill confidence in critiquing sources of inspiration. In this inspiring book Derek Hayes investigates the process & practice of design in woodturning. While aiming to instill confidence in appreciating criticising & selecting sources of inspiration Derek questions why we may find one turning attractive & another ugly. He looks closely at design elements sketching proportion pattern decoration & colour; with instructive diagrams & photographs that will guide the reader to a better understanding of design. Readers are encouraged to question & fine-tune this understanding & experiment with ways of applying the approaches of other designers to their own work. Each chapter starts with a photographic example of what Derek sees as good design in a medium other than woodturning.
