Stephen Hogbin, while remaining embedded in his own region of Owen Sound, is recognized internationally by collectors, educators, and professional organizations for his influence in studio wood turning and furniture making. In the early 1970s, he developed a rich vocabulary of alternate forms to the 1000-year-old technique of lathe work. These innovative forms became a keystone to the development of the contemporary domain. Primarily a studio artist with an inclusive and multi-discipline approach, he is also an occasional curator and author.
