Jeff Hornung began his artistic foundation in 1984, as a ceramics maker, and this morphed into a twenty-four-year career as a floral designer. Following an auto accident and suffering from post-concussive syndrome, he came to the Folk School on a much-needed vacation. Woodturning was the class Jeff chose, and somehow that not only began the healing process his brain needed, but also ended up launching his very own woodturning business. Since that first class, he has become a juried artist, national and international demonstrator, author, woodturning teacher, Artist-in-Residence, and instructor at the Craft Alliance School of Art + Design in St. Louis, MO.
