Robb Glibbery makes his art from wood using a lathe as his primary tool.  He states, "Wood has physical, emotional and cultural properties that are compelling and also resistant to my efforts. I work at this pursuit in a dusty, noisy, crowded basement room, filled with potential art in the form of firewood and junk, waiting to enter my process of generating visual possibilities.  This path is based on previous work and other visual stimuli both natural and manufactured.  I am led toward new work of an undetermined nature, fabricated from materials not yet acquired, using techniques not yet learned, with tools not yet conceived, to create forms and relationships not fully visualized or understood."

Robb lives in Duluth and works as a nurse in surgical services at St. Mary's Medical Center.  He is a member of the Lake Superior Woodturners and the American Association of Woodturners. His work can be viewed at mnartists.org.

This particular bowl was the American Association of Woodturner "woodturning of the week" for the week of March 16, 2015.
