DOONGALIK NEWS
Roddie Pinder was born and grew up in
Spanish Wells, Eleuthera, Bahamas. A for-
mer Out Island Commissioner, Roddie’s love
for woodworking lay dormant until he became
friends with Edwin Ferguson from Nassau
who was well known for making wooden
spinning tops. After the death of another
family friend, James Lowe, the family gave
Roddie his lathe and a new career was born.
Roddie studied briefly with world renowned
wood turner Rude Ofolnik and has never
looked back. He uses primarily native woods
along with other exotic hard woods.
Roddie is well known as the premiere wood
turner in The Bahamas and presently works
out of his basement workshop on Russell
Island, Spanish Wells. His work can be found
in collections locally and internationally.

RODDIE PINDER’S
‘ALL WOOD SHOW’
Please join us for the
Official Opening
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2010
6—9 pm
Marina Village Gallery
Paradise Island
The Exhibit will be on display until
Wednesday, November 10
MAX TAYLOR– We have a new
shipment of fabulous abstract ce-
ramic bowls from Max as well as
a few with profiles. These have
been fired twice so they have a
rich colour and shine.
MELISSA MAURA – Melissa has
delivered several smaller wooden
shaped boats which she calls
“Potcake Smacks”. Guarded by
their loyal Bahamian ‘potcakes’
with personalities (’potcake’ is the
local name for the Bahamian
dogs of all breeds!) these are
definitely conversation pieces.
MICK GUY - Mick recycles the wood from abandoned homes or
boats to make his lovely bowls
and plates. We are happy to
have another selection in stock.
CHANTAL BETHEL—A new oil
painting from this Freeport artist
mirrors the fluidity of movement
of the brightly dressed majestic
dancers amidst the tranquil tur-
quoise background.
EXPECTED ……... A new series
of wooden sculptures from Anto-
nius Roberts
…... a selection of coloured pen-
cil drawings and prints from Kim
Smith
…...another smaller “People”
painting from Jane Water-
ous………
…..stay tuned……...
