Raised and now living in Kentucky, Robert Henrickson worked for forty years as a professional archaeologist in the Near East, primarily in Turkey, with his research focused on pottery dating from 5500-150 BC. He has been turning for 15 years, creating a range of multiaxis, sculptural, and complex spindle work, in addition to various types of vessels influenced by his archaeological experience and knowledge of classical forms. Traditional turning in other cultures provides further inspirations. In addition to taking classes in other media at the Folk School, Robert became an Assistant Instructor in turning classes in 2016 and Instructor in 2021. In the past 10 years he has frequently demonstrated for regional turning clubs.
