Elizabeth Weber

Born and raised in Tennessee, Elizabeth Weber showed great promise in both the arts and mathematics. She first specialized in engineering, earning an M.S. in civil engineering from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and working in several engineering jobs.

In 2012, she moved to Seattle, and in 2015 decided to nurture her artistic side through woodworking. Her first creations included several pieces of furniture in the Arts & Crafts style, but she eventually turned to smaller objects and now specializes in bowls, spoons, and boxes.

Her skills range from natural finish and simple forms to highly carved and painted forms that emulate natural motifs. She is the American Association of Woodturner’s 2023 POP Artist Showcase recipient, and has taught and demonstrated at schools and woodturning clubs across the country. She also helps to run the Seattle Spoon Club, and serves on the Seattle Woodturners board as their program director and Women in Turning liaison.
