Turning Salt & Pepper Shakers and Mills

Author: Chris West

In the first book dedicated solely to turning salt and pepper shakers and mills, Chris West covers all aspects of turning these useful condiment-holders and demonstrates how they can be transformed into beautiful, stylish and tactile additions to your home.

Chris finds inspiration in many diverse objects, whether glass, metal or ceramics. He makes a mental note of the basic shape, and shows how the same design can be used with either different accessories or means of assembly. Working in this way, he creates unique and quirky designs, which move beyond the traditional shapes in retail shops today.

The stunning Turning Salt & Pepper Shakers and Mills showcases 30 projects, which are rated in order of difficulty, from beginner through to intermediate and advanced, depending on the skills of the turner and also access to materials and machinery. And an impressive gallery of examples by internationally recognised turners will enable readers to be inspired to create their own works of art.
