Participate in a Visiting Artist Workshop at Trent Bosch Studios. We are excited to be opening up our studio to instructors from around the world. In 2026 Max Brosi from Ireland will be joining us!
Description: Join Max Brosi for a 3-Day Signature Workshop. Participants will receive a broad exposure to Max’s work and creative process. Depending on time and participant interest, potential projects will include: a cove based multi axis sculpture (Whalebone), one (or more) tube based multi axis piece(s) depending on time and progress, and also a simplified Reef Vessel/Form. Among other things, Max will cover design, tool use, and how to safely mount pieces on the lathe. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about and incorporate various surface treatment techniques, including carving with rotary burrs, piercing and sandblasting.
Level: Participants should have recent turning experience.
Dates: September 11-13 OR September 14-16 (both classes will be the same, please don’t register for both).
Cost: $950 total ($300 non-refundable deposit)
About Max:
Max Brosi is an innovative Irish sculptural woodturner, his background is in Furniture Design and Making, which he studied at The Furniture College in Letterfrack, Connemara, Ireland.
He first gained recognition for his abstract and narrative multi axis tube compositions, turned from wet wood that distorted as they seasoned. Since taking part in the Windgate ITE (International Turning Exchange) several years ago Max has turned his attention to the vessel form, the blank canvas of woodturning. His focus is on harmony in the vessel, exploring materiality, form, Line, texture, and proportion in his compositions, with inspiration coming from far eastern mark making and the forms and textures found along the coast near his home and studio in NW Ireland.
Max’s work has been exhibited in the USA, UK, Germany, Italy, Dubai, and of course Ireland, with work in public and private collections.
