Mendocino County Woodturners 
April 3 - 28, 2025
First Friday Reception: April 4th 5 - 8 pm Please join us.
We are proud to present woodturnings by two groups, the Redwood Empire Woodturners Guild and Mendocino Woodturners Guild, featuring many of the best woodturners in the county.
According to Northcoast Gallery guest member artist Scott Gaustad, the Redwood Empire Woodturners Guild has been in existence for decades. Its membership varies between 20 to 30 members who meet on the second Thursday of every month at the Ukiah High School woodshop at 7:00 P.M. The Mendocino Woodturners Guild Official AAW affiliate club meeting is 2:30-4:30 pm on the second Sunday of every month, at 1260 N. Main Street, Shop 11 in Fort Bragg. The monthly meetings typically include a live demonstration, show and tell, and sharing of ideas. For both guilds, visitors and prospective new members are always welcome, no prior woodturning experience needed. Contact Brian Schumacher (707)357-4993 for more information. |

Woodturner, Scott Gaustad

An acquisition of some old growth redwood slabs inspires his current majestic bowls, plates, platters and objects d’art. Knowing he is working on wood from a tree that was hundreds if not thousands of years old is both humbling and rewarding. “I continue to be amazed at what happens with an unremarkable round of wood. I cut it in half, put it on the lathe, and let the shape, grain, and nuances in the wood guide me with my tools. The results are almost magical.” ~ Scott Gaustad |

Wood turner, Scott Gaustad took up his craft about 15 years ago. A retired lawyer from Ukiah, he became hooked with turning wood from the first day a client taught him the process. |

" I work with clay as a way to make sense of the world, drawing on personal experiences and taking inspiration from emotions, dreams and nature. The forms of my sculptures often play with abstracting the human and mythological figure, while surface details tell stories that are both personal and universal. I love to create work that catches the eye from far away, and becomes more interesting the closer one gets to a piece. My intention is to raise questions and to invoke an emotional response that is unique for everyone. " |
