Art Liestman

Art Liestman is a woodturner living in Coquitlam, B.C. Art has been involved with woodworking for 30 years. Originally, his interest was in designing and making experimental musical instruments. After a few years of making functional items, he turned to the artistic side of woodturning. One focus of Art’s work in recent years has been teapots. In 2005, Art was asked to make a teapot for the famous Kamm Collection. Since then he has designed and made several series of non-functional wooden teapots.
Art has demonstrated at national and regional symposia. His work has been seen in numerous exhibitions and is available through several galleries across North America.
Art Liestman‘s wonderful teapots will be featured at the upcoming Mad Hats & Teapots exhibit later this month.
