John Melius

John became interested in woodturning through visits to various galleries in the High Country of North Carolina. His desire to learn the intricacies of the craft led him to take turning lessons from famed woodturner Alan Hollar and to join the North Carolina Woodturners Association. Both outlets gave him a great opportunity to learn more about the art. John is past president of the North Carolina Woodturners Association and has served as Assistant Instructor in Woodturning at John C. Campbell Folk Art School in Brasstown, NC. He has items on display in several galleries in North Carolina and Virginia.
