The 2004 Wizardry in Wood
Exhibition took place at the Pewterers' Hall in Oat Lane in the City
of London between 15th and 17th June 2004. The country's top turners, many
of whom are members of the Register of Professional Turners, exhibited their
work on two floors of the Hall: individual turners' stands on the ground
floor with group stands on the 1st floor.
In addition to the work of individual turners, a number of collections was
on display: the Smouha collection of pieces from America, Europe and
Ireland; the St Petersburg Collection with pieces designed by Liveryman Theo
Fabergé and Freeman Sarah Fabergé; the Daniel Collection of mainly British
treen chosen by Jonathon Cuff and Shirley Sinclair; and finally the Howe
Collection.

Many of these well known and outstanding wood turners are also taking part in the 2008 Exhibition.
