Jim Craig Watson

I always liked creating something different. My first job was working at a sign company at the age of 14. I worked with several old sign masters, that started their careers, making their own paint. This industry taught me to work with many different mediums, glass, wood, neon, paint, steel, gold leaf and plastics just to name a few. I discovered wood turning in 2016 and I was immediately captivated by this method of creating things from wood. Mostly bowls, vases and large hallow forms. Mother nature tends to hide beautiful things from us. Each time i am blessed with a piece of wood, I can see things deep inside, hidden well below the bark, things that are I know are there, and i need to bring them to the surface.
