Profile
Sören Berger, who lives in New Zealand, has been a woodturning artist for 33 years.
He is very well known throughout the world as a teacher, demonstrator and exhibitor, with his
art pieces featured in many journals, publications and books.
Each year Sören is invited to America to demonstrate woodturning at big national symposiums,
top art and craft schools and woodturning clubs.
In 33 years of full time studio woodturning, traveling and teaching Sören has come to see that
woodturners are experiencing a rediscovery of a very ancient art.
The experience that Sören Berger has gained in his travels throughout the USA, Sweden and
NZ over the last 17 years has given him a clearer understanding of many of the common
problems people encounter while learning to turn.
Modern woodturning has some new materials, tools and technologies which make the
processes quicker and more pleasant.
Sören’s interest over the last 4 years has been focused on developing tools that enables
everybody to create beautiful objects with ease of use.
This dedicated development has resulted in a range of innovative and outstanding products enjoyed by woodturners worldwide.
