jonathan renton

Woodturner, Nottingham (UK)

Jonathan Renton is a woodturner whose practice is grounded in an intimate understanding of timber and form. His work ranges from functional vessels, for occasional light use, to more sculptural pieces, each shaped through careful observation of grain, movement and balance.

Jonathan’s background and approach emphasise making as a dialogue with material rather than a process of control. The turning process is slow and responsive, allowing each piece to develop its own character.

The result is work that feels alive with material presence — objects that invite touch and reward close attention, embodying both skill and sensitivity.
