After doing a google recently for a list of women woodturners and coming up with zilch, I put one up on our AAW chapter's website links page. I have a whopping 21 women listed so far, who have websites. There's gotta be more than this!
Well, you could add Virginia Dotson and Robin Horn. A quick Google didn't turn up a self-published web presence, but I didn't look too hard.
There's also Lissi Oland: ...
And the woman who uses her departed dad's *large* metal lathe cranking the cutter in, out and sideways... her name's just not coming to mind.
Owen Is that not Michelle Holzapfel in Vermont?
Hi Darrell, Her first name isn't John Jacob and she is missing an 'F', but with a name like Holtzapfel how could a turner like Owen forget? :)
Whether Church or Chapel, are you including Auld Scotia in October?

Fortiter,
THAT'S the woman I was trying to remember, but couldn't (Lissi). Dotson doesn't seem to have her own site, but has a few feature pages out there. A also need URLs for Judy Ditmer and Haley Smith, if anyone has them.
An interesting tidbit I learned from Brenda Behrens: in the little Rockler picture of turning blanks, (on my links page below the Women category) the little bowl is a Behren piece and the other is a Dotson turning.
I'll add Michelle Holzapfel as soon as I find a detailed webpage for her.
thanks, guys,

Arch We are not getting to Scotland this time. Mostly I think it is a chance to meet my wife's relatives for me. Her uncle John passed away before I met him but I do have a copy of one of the Paddington Bear books he illustrated and a copy of the commemorative medal he designed for the British Government. Her aunt is a sculptor and I am looking forward to seeing some of her work. Incidentally, her father was a Scot and apprenticed as a wooden shipbuilder in Scotland.
