About Bert Marsh

Lived 1932 – 2011 (aged 78–79). Bert Marsh was a British visual artist.

Bert Marsh (1932 22 May 2011) was a British woodturner, known for his beautiful forms and technical mastery. He was raised in Hove, England. "Bert was known throughout the woodturning world as a talented turner, inveterate story-teller, and mentor for many of today’s top turners."

Life Marsh started his apprenticeship in 1945 at a local furniture factory, where he was introduced to lathe work, drawn by his passion for wood. After completing his apprenticeship, he was drafted into the Royal Air Force (RAF), where he was a mechanic for Spitfire, Hornet, and Mosquito airplane engines in Selar, British Malaya (now Malaysia). and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Marsh received an Honorary Life Membership in the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain (AWGB) in 2009 for services to woodturning. Bert Marsh, Woodturner, 160 pp, Sterling Pub Co
