Woodturning Article

Sean That would be an interesting article. You would probably need to contact an art historian or someone who has watched the growth of glass and ceramics to take an educated quess at where we are going. I am not the right person. I predicted that theaters would die very shortly after VCR were introduced. I also thought the Cell phone was a passing fad and who in there right mind would want a low resolution camera as part of the cell phone.
 
I'd like to read that article. But I think trying to predict what direction art is likely to go is like trying to predict what direction a spinning top will go.

I think Guy Kawasaki once said (paraphrasing here): "rulebreakers become the new rulemakers."

I think that the way to write an article forecasting trends in woodturning art is to make so many vague sweeping generalities that everyone who reads it will come away with a different opinion of what the article actually said. That, then would require numerous other contradictory articles explaining what the original article said.

I could write an article, but it would be only one sentence long and go something like this, "woodturning art will move in a direction that has the greatest potential for creating the most income for the artists involved."
