Thomas Wirsing

Thomas Wirsing has had a lifelong fascination with wood which began as a boy working in his father’s workshop in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. After earning a BS degree in Physics from Roanoke College, he has lived and worked in North America, Europe and Asia. He has traveled in at least fifty countries on six continents, and in all fifty states. The designs for his woodturnings have been influenced by art objects, furniture and architecture from around the world.

Thomas is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Association of
Woodturners (AAW), and is a past president of the Denver Chapter of the AAW, the Front Range Woodturners.

Thomas lives with his wife Melinda on a ranch in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies where he grazes Angus cattle, builds furniture, and turns wood.
