The Ray Key collaboration
It must be over 30 years ago since I first saw Ray demonstrating at one of the shows. It might have been the NEC but my memory lets me down these days. I remember standing and watching him turn with the ease and grace that only comes with years of experience and then standing and talking with him about tools and techniques, he was always willing to pass on his knowledge.
Years later I joined the AWGB committee as an area rep and by this time Ray was the President and I enjoyed his company on many occasions. I had the need to call in on him one day to pick up some exhibition pieces and when I walked into his workshop I was staggered at the number of bowls he had stacked around drying and waiting for him to finish off, I had never seen a turner working so hard. We discussed AWGB business over a cup of tea, the conversation drifted towards pieces I was working on, Ray was always interested in other people’s work and offered advice on how my work was developing. Ray liked clean lines and natural timber and when I mentioned that I was playing with the application of paint he pointed out that I could not just go and put a painting on the side of a piece as it had to be properly framed and made to look as though it was meant to be there. When I became the Chairman of the Register of Professional Turners Ray was one of the first people to email me his congratulations and I could always rely on his wise counsel.
The collaboration pieces are meant to be finished in our own style, I do not have a particular style, but remembering Ray’s comments from several years ago, I have applied a lozenge with which to frame the applied decoration.
