Young Artist Speaker Series: Hanna Dausch | Wed, October 16, 2024 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm | ZOOM
The Museum for Art in Wood is proud to present the Young Artist Speaker Series. Each semester a young artist is asked to share their work and speak about the transition from academia to becoming an independent artist. The seventh installment in the series features Hanna Dausch of Han Studio, a Pittsburgh-based artist and designer. We will learn about Dausch’s creative process and her strategy for building and marketing a successful business. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about Hanna Dausch’s journey!
“I am Hanna Dausch and I run a small woodworking studio in Pittsburgh, PA called Han Studio.
My grandfather was a woodworker, my grandmother a painter, my mother a gardener, and my father a refinisher. Growing up I was surrounded by craftsmanship – precise lines, smooth curves, and distinct details shaped by skilled hands. It wasn’t until I moved away from home that I came to realize how much these details brought comfort and warmth to my childhood memories.
After completing my education at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I became a Historic Carpenter working on the preservation of homes built in the early 1900’s. This soon led me to handcrafting furniture and design for the home.
My woodworking is a conversation between the past, present, and future of craftsmanship strengthened by family and traditions. It is made to add warmth and intimacy to the home.”
This event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets, nurtures, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art, craft, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year.
