Malcolm Tibbetts: Striking Wood Sculptures Artist
Malcolm Tibbetts is a master of the intricate art of segmented woodturning. The technique differs from conventional woodturning in that the segments of an art piece are individually crafted on a lathe (or “turned”) and combined to form a whole. Woodturning is an art form that demands great patience, skill, and imagination from the artist. Tibbetts showcases these qualities and more to create beautifully complex sculptures that are guaranteed to evoke fascination and appreciation. Marcus Ashley Gallery has Malcolm Tibbetts art for sale and we have many pieces and styles to choose from.
About Malcolm Tibbetts
I assembled my first two pieces of wood together at age five in my granddad’s workshop. He certainly passed on his love for woodworking; I’ve been a lifelong worker of wood ever since. In the mid 90’s, after building many furniture pieces, literally filling a house with handmade furniture, and after acquiring a shop full of tools, my woodworking journey took me to the wonderful world of segmented woodturning – a truly unique art form.
I have a wonderful marriage, two terrific grown children, three grandchildren (soon to be four), a very supportive wife (Tere), a successful past career in ski area management, and now plenty of personal time to pursue my woodturning passion.
My turnings have won many awards and prestigious collectors have acquired many of my pieces. With the founding of the Segmented Woodturners, and with my book and DVDs, I’d like to think that I’ve helped to promote and advance the art form know as “segmented woodturning.”
