About
Carved wooden bowls, spoons etc.
I have a long-held passion for creating with wood. I especially love the beauty of the natural grain inherent in many of our native woods. Initially, I made tables, cabinets and cutting boards. However, in recent years, I have mainly focused on carving wooden bowls and spoons. Most of the bowls I create are carved from burls. I try to find burls with irregular and interesting shapes. Because I don’t use a lathe, I am able to follow the natural shape of the burl. As a result, every bowl is unique. The grain patterns found in burls are unpredictable and often beautiful, and I enjoy unlocking the natural beauty that nature has provided.

Elora Fergus Studio Tour
EVER WONDER WHAT AN ARTIST’S STUDIO REALLY LOOKS LIKE?
Here’s your chance to get a look behind the scenes. Take a self-guided tour and meet artists where they live and work. Many artists and craftspeople will open their studios for two consecutive fall weekends.
The Studio Tour is completely free of charge. You’ll get a chance to meet directly with the artists, and often see work not shown in gallery settings. You’ll visit the working spaces of both established and emerging artists, from basements to self contained studios
