Lot Report

Note:

Ted Hodgetts was born in 1946 and grew up in Kingston, Ontario. He studied at Queen’s University, the University of Toronto, and received his B.A. from York University, Toronto, in 1970. In 1973 he began his career as a self-taught woodworker, establishing a small cabinetmaking company in Barrie, Ontario, along with several partners. He moved to Newtonville and started a one-man shop there.

In 1979, Hodgetts and his partner, porcelain artist Jane Wilson, moved to Millbrook, Ontario, where they set up a studio. He worked with wood professionally for over twenty five years, primarily as a wood turner producing one-of-a-kind, lathe-turned vessels in exotic and burled woods. His work has been widely exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Canada, the U.S.A. and Europe, and he has been the recipient of numerous awards from the Ontario Arts Council, as well as the subject of many articles and reviews in national and international publications. In 2000, one of Hodgetts’ turned vessels was featured on a Canadian postage stamp, part of the Millennium Collection, commissioned by Canada Post, to celebrate the history of Canada. Hodgetts’ work is included in a number of private, corporate and public collections.

Ted Hodgetts now focuses on two of his other passions, books and music at JazzFirst Books, his online bookshop which specializes in used first edition blues and jazz books and signed, music ephemera. He lives in Millbrook, Ontario.
