John Ecuyer


Picture
Woodworking and cast glass.

Born in 1956, woodturner John Ecuyer lives and works in Matakohe, Northland, with his wife Anna, daughter Trista and son Aaron.

John's woodworking Journey began in the late 1980s and continues at Matakohe on the shores of the Kaipara Harbour where his home, workshop and gallery are now located.

The work John produces is largely designed around the use of a woodlathe, but after the turning process has shaped the piece, he will remove it and begin the embellishment process. All his work is very hands-on. John has also worked with cast glass, clay and mixed media. Examples of these can be seen on his website www.johnecuyer.com.
​

John says: "Woodturning caught my eye in the late eighties and I still have not let it go. The drive to make the next new piece has now consumed around thirty years and although I have used other mediums I find I am still drawn back to wood. My pieces are turned on a lathe and then the fun begins with the embellishment of a piece. The vessel has been my subject matter and the potential in that form is still boundless. Techniques often point to new potentials as well as the aesthetics that change as we age. I will continue to make pieces by hand despite the pressures to join the design only world. It is this hands on process that I live for."

John's contemporary pieces have found their way into many private and public collections worldwide.

The public collections include Auckland Museum, Dowse Art Museum, Whangarei Art Museum, Manukau District Council, Vero Centre, NZ Embassy Tokyo Japan, Detroit institute of Art USA, and the Maioli Wood Art Museum Taiwan. 


Gallery 28 is at 28 Matakohe East Road, Matakohe, Kaipara 

The showroom and workshop are open when John is at home, otherwise phone John, 021 182-6762
