Derek Hayes investigates the process and practice of design in woodturning.  Design is rarely a priority for the beginner woodturner and most turners in their early work begin by concentrating on technique rather than shape or form, which can prove counterproductive.  While aiming to instill confidence in appreciating, criticizing, and selecting sources of inspiration, Derek doesn't tell you what is good or bad, but rather questions why we may find one turning attractive and another unpleasant. Readers are encouraged to question and fine-tune their understanding of good design and experiment with ways of applying the approaches of other designers to their own work.  Where inspiration is found is not important, but how we transform what is seen into something which is definitely our own is what matters.  Each chapter starts with a photographic example of what Derek sees as good design in a medium other than woodturning.  The pieces are not "deconstructed" to justify his choice, but are there to serve as a reminder to the turner to look for design choices with critical awareness.  The chapters include: Design elements, Sketching, Using wood, decoration, and color, Proportion, Pattern, Open forms, Closed forms, The foot, The rim.  This book is shipped free via USPS media mail. All shipments to Brazil must go Priority mail Express.  All Brazilian shipping charges are on a quote only basis.
