SUMMARY:Small Favors: Think Inside the Box
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Art in Wood\, in collaboration with The Clay Studio\, presents Small Favors: Think Inside the Box\, which will be on view on the Center’s Len Scherock Museum Store Art Wall and in the Korman Gallery at The Clay Studio. The exhibition engages new and established artists\, challenging them to produce work using varied materials that fit inside a 4-inch acrylic cube. In 2006\, The Clay Studio conceived the Small Favors exhibition as an effort to advance fine craft to the entry-level collector in addition to seasoned collectors. Over the past decade\, thousands of artists have participated\, responding to the boundaries of the contained space and the opportunity to create small scale sculpture. \nOPENING RECEPTION | First Friday | Friday\, March 3\, 2017 | 5:30–8pm | Progressive event at The Center for Art in Wood and The Clay Studio \nFirst Friday | Friday\, April 7\, 2017 | 5–8pm | At The Center for Art in Wood \nSpring Fling Reception | First Friday | Friday\, May 5\, 2017 | 5–8pm | Progressive event at The Center for Art in Wood and The Clay Studio \nThe Center’s ARTISTS: Ally Crow Linda Ferber Ron Fleming\nAmy Forsyth Dewey Garrett Brooke Hine\nSarah Martin Stephanie Osser Keunho Peter Park\nDavid Plemons Lucinda Rawe Judith Rosenthal\nRandall Rosenthal Joshua Salesin Andrew Sartorius\nNorm Sartorius Jon Sauer Merryll Saylan\nJason Schneider Kimberly Winkle \nThe Clay Studio ARTISTS: Maria Albornoz Lisa Belsky Lynne Berman\nAnn Chahbandour Matthew Courtney Chad Curtis\nDominique Ellis Janet Felton Marguerita Hagan\nStuart Gair Vicky Gold Lois Harvey Darien Johnson\nJennifer Johnson Yu-Jung Kim Lauren Mabry\nDiane Marimow Didem Mert Susan Strassberg\nKatherine Teesdale And Many More \nPictured (left to right\, top to bottom): Judith Rosenthal\, A Walk in the Wood\, 2016 | Norm and Andrew Sartorius\, \nFather and Son Triangle\, 2017 | Chad Curtis\, Green Horizon 002\, 2016 | Stuart Gair\, Soda Fired Espresso Cup\, 2016 | \nJoshua Salesin\, Mandala Cup\, 2017 | Brooke Hine\, Hine Flower\, 2017 | Lauren Mabry\, Enclosed Cylinde\, 2016 | \nDidem Mert\, Chocolate Sprinkle Pinky Winky Brooch\, 2016

SUMMARY:CRISS CROSS: Robyn Horn / Brian Dickerson
DESCRIPTION:CRISS CROSS: ROBYN HORN / BRIAN DICKERSON\nOctober 27\, 2017 – January 18\, 2018\nCurated by Miriam Seidel\nVisit online gallery here. The Center for Art in Wood located at 141 N 3rd Street\, Philadelphia\, PA 19106 is pleased to present CRISS CROSS: Robyn Horn / Brian Dickerson curated by Miriam Seidel. Join us October 27th\, in the Gerry Lenfest Gallery for an exhibition that expands our understanding of wood as an art medium. \nTwo artists working in different ways—Robyn Horn\, with strongly sculptural pieces incorporating the natural heft and gestures of wood\, and Brian Dickerson\, whose constructed paintings build up paint on joined wood surfaces—enter an artistic conversation in this exhibition. Horn’s explorations of painting and Dickerson’s move toward full sculptural forms mirror and illuminate each other’s practice\, stimulating how we look at the possibilities of wood informed by volume and color. \nThe Center for Art in Wood\, known for its new approaches to wood as a material for art\, is the perfect venue for an exhibition that juxtaposes the works of Horn and Dickerson and provokes fresh dialogue relating to the intersections of sculpture and painting\, craft and fine art\, painted versus natural surfaces\, illusionary depth versus actual depth. \nCRISS CROSS: ROBYN HORN / BRIAN DICKERSON at The Center for Art in Wood is sponsored by the Collectors of Wood Art and is part of CraftNOW Philadelphia\, which unites the leading institutions and artists of Philadelphia’s craft community in a celebration of the city’s rich legacy of craft\, its internationally-recognized contemporary craft scene\, and its important role as an incubator for arts based in wood\, clay\, fiber\, metal and glass. \nPictured: Robyn Horn\, US\, Throwing Shadows\, 2010\, Spalted maple\, acrylics\, charcoal\, 27 ½” x 23” x4 ½”\, Photo by artist; Brian Dickerson\, US\, Autumn’s End I\, 2010\, Oil\, wax and mixed media on wood\, 31” x 21” x5”\, Photo by Simone Associates \nRelated events\nFirst Fridays | Nov 3 & Dec 1\, 2017 & Jan 5\, 2018 | 5–8 PM at the Center |\nGallery talk and reception with artist Brian Dickerson and curator Miriam Seidel\nat the Dec 1 event.

SUMMARY:Merryll Saylan: This is Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Merryll Saylan: This is Your Life\nCurated by Glenn Adamson\nNovember 2\, 2018 – January 19\, 2019\nVisit the online gallery here. \nThe Center for Art in Wood is pleased to present the work of renowned wood artist Merryll Saylan in an exhibition celebrating the timeline of her career. When she began turning in the 1970s\, Saylan was one of few women in the craft field. While her contemporaries gravitated toward furniture-making and the use of exotic woods\, Saylan—who came from a background in modern and contemporary design—focused on surface\, using wood as a blank canvas for compositions in color and texture. Her experiments with stains\, pigments\, texture\, and auto body finishes represented a new approach in the field\, with connections to abstract painting. \nGuest Curator Glenn Adamson writes that Saylan’s work draws “sometimes humorously\, sometimes poignantly—from the world of everyday things….her objects dwell right in that interesting space between unremarkable normalcy and aesthetic transcendence\, which we all inhabit all the time.” \n \nEVENTS\nCraftNOW Symposium | Nov 2 | 11 AM – 7 PM | University of the Arts Gershman Hall\, 401 S. Broad St. Free and open to the public. Lecture by Merryll Saylan and Glenn Adamson at 1 PM \nFirst Fridays | Nov 2\, Dec 9\, Jan 4 | 5 – 8 PM. Opening reception on Nov 2 | 6 – 8 PM \nGallery talk with Merryll Saylan and Artistic Director Jennifer-Navva Milliken | Nov 3 | 2 – 4 PM \nWorkshop with Alan Adler\, An Introduction to Color on Wood | Sat\, Dec 1 | 2 – 4:30 PM at the Center\n*Registration opening soon. \nWorkshop with Merryll Saylan\, Woodturning and Surface Treatment | Jan 17 & 18 | 10 AM – 4 PM each day | Dovetail Wood Arts at MaKen North\, 3525 I Street\, Philadelphia\n*Registration opening soon. \nClosing event and gallery talk with viewing of finished pieces from the workshop | Sat\, Jan 19 | 2 – 4 PM at the Center \n  \nTo RSVP for the workshops and for more information please contact Katie Sorenson\, at 215-923-8000 or katie@museumforartinwood.org. Interested in bringing a school group? Please contact Lori Reece at lori@museumforartinwood.org \n  \nThe exhibition program at the Center is generously supported by the Cambium Giving Society of The Center for Art in Wood\, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, Philadelphia Cultural Fund\, and Windgate Charitable Foundation. Corporate support is provided by Boomerang\, Inc.\, Penn State Industries\, Signarama Center City\, and Sun-lite Corporation. \nPictured: Merryll Saylan\, Tea Set\, 1997 ITE.

SUMMARY:2018 Bob Stocksdale Award: Ben Strear
DESCRIPTION:The 2018 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award: Ben Strear | Sun\, April 14\, 2019 | 2 – 4 pm | Lecture and reception at Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\, New Castle County\, DE\nRegistration is required to attend.\nTo RSVP click HERE. \nPlease join us as we commemorate the 2018 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award with a lecture and reception at the Rotunda of the renowned Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library. The 2018 recipient for the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award is Ben Strear of Grand Rapids\, Michigan. \nSupported by an anonymous donor and now in its third year\, the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award presents a grant of $1\,000 to an emerging or mid-career artist whose work\, like Stocksdale’s\, unites quality of craftsmanship and respect for materials. Recognizing the 2018 Stocksdale Award will be Trent Rhodes\, a Lois F. McNeil Fellow and recent graduate of the Winterthur Program in American Culture\, with a lecture on Strear and Stocksdale (1913–2003)\, a renowned master woodturner. Rhodes will discuss Strear’s work in context of the values reflected in Stocksdale’s legacy\, among them quality of craftsmanship\, respect for materials\, and artistic innovation. \nStrear creates sculpted wooden vessels that serve as canvasses for his meticulously hand-carved\, rhythmic patterns\, many of which are inspired by ancient structures and artifacts. His work is held by prominent private collections\, and he is the recipient of a number of awards\, including The Smithsonian Craft Show and the Cheongju International Craft Competition in South Korea. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Ben Strear\, Bleached Stele\, 2018\, bass wood\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nImage captions\, left to right: Ben Strear\, Bleached Stele\, bass wood\, 8 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ x 22″; Stele With Smoke and Flame Pattern\, bass wood\, milk paint\, lacquer\, 8 1/8″ x 17 3/4″ x 20 1/2; Vase with Serpentine Pattern\, bass wood\, 4″ diam. x 8 1/2″\nAbove left: Ben Strear\, Cylindrical Seal\, 2017\, bass wood\, turned and carved with non-repeating pattern and striated; milk paint\, wax\, Diam. 5.5 in. x 14.5 in.\nBen Strear\nOriginally from Colorado\, Ben Strear attended the Rhode Island School of Design where he received a BFA in Furniture Design. After graduating in 2006\, he was awarded the Robyn and John Horn Woodturning Fellowship at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. In 2007 Ben moved to New York City where he found success both fabricating and managing the production of projects for high profile architects and artists. It was also during this time that Ben defined a formal language for his own sculptural woodwork. In 2016 Ben began to focus on creating sculptures full time. Ben and his family currently reside in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. \nARTIST’S STATEMENT\nMy process and materials are simple: I sculpt and carve wood. While wood by itself is very beautiful\, it’s transformative qualities are what I enjoy the most. I utilize both shallow relief and chip carving to achieve the woven\, repetitive patterns that adorn my work. I rely on monochromatic color schemes to highlight the patterning\, rather than the color of the material itself. On some of my work\, I further graphic depth by incising or burning a secondary pattern over a sculpture’s topographic surface. \nWhile the foundation for my art is largely technically driven\, I tend to look towards antiquities and fossils for added inspiration. I search for objects that possess finite detail expertly transposed over beautiful forms\, either through natural means or by human hands. When pattern and form are combined in the right way\, I end up with sculptures that have an air of mystery and impossibility. I wish to instill my work with an inherent sense of history\, challenging the viewer to determine if my work was made as a ceremonial gift for an ancient ruler\, or perhaps petrified fruits yielded by an ancient\, primordial garden. \nTo learn more about Ben Strear click HERE. \nImage caption: Ben Strear\, Eroded Cylindrical Seal\, bass wood\, milk paint\, laquer\, 5″ x 15″.\n\nTrent Rhodes\nTrent Rhodes is a Grants Associate at the Brandywine River Museum of Art and a recent graduate of the Winterthur Program in Material Culture\, where he completed his thesis on Southern antique collectors and dealers. During his time at Winterthur\, Trent served as a visiting fellow at the Center for Art in Wood\, where he and a classmate worked with the director to begin reinstalling the permanent collection. Prior to graduate school\, he worked at the Minnesota Historical Society as a Research Assistant for an exhibition on suburbia. Trent has held internships at the American Craft Council and the Goldstein Museum of Design. He graduated from Carleton College in Northfield\, Minnesota\, with a Bachelor’s degree in Art History. \n\nBob Stocksdale\n\nImage: Paul J.

SUMMARY:Artist Lecture: Humaira Abid
DESCRIPTION:Humaira Abid\, The Stains are Forever\, 2016. Photo: Adeel Ahmed.\nArtist Lecture: Humaira Abid | Sponsored by the University of the Arts and the Center for Art in Wood | Thurs\, April 16\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 5 pm EDT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the University of the Arts and the Center for a virtual Artist Lecture via ZOOM with Humaira Abid. Artist Humaira Abid’s life and passion is devoted to leveraging her artistic language to expose taboos and their harmful effects on society. In the exhibition Searching for Home\, on view at the Center for Art in Wood’s website\, Abid transports visitors into a concurrent reality\, in which tens of millions of people worldwide have fled their homes—a troubling narrative that the artist depicts through installations of carvings and paintings. Abid will discuss her work and how contemporary artists can engage with tradition while also subverting it to address societal problems\, taboos\, stereotyping\, and oppression. To attend virtually\, follow the link above. If you have questions please contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org \n\n  \n\nPhoto of Humaira Abid by Amber Hammad \nHumaira Abid’s carved wood sculpture and paintings—known for their exquisite detail—depict human relationships\, societal repression\, and the consequences of keeping basic truths from being discussed and shared. The beauty and seductive virtuosity of her work offset her political\, ironic\, provocative\, and even scandalous objects and installations. \nHumaira Abid was born and raised in Lahore\, Pakistan. She immigrated to the United States in 2008 and now lives and works in Seattle\, WA. \nAbid received her BFA in sculpture and miniature painting from the National College of Arts\, Lahore\, in 2000. Her works have been exhibited in museums and galleries and documented in publications around the world and reviewed by local\, national\, and international news media. Abid is the recipient of numerous honors\, most recently the 2019 Artist Trust Arts Innovator Award. \nHer work has been published in books and other print media\, and she has been the recipient of prestigious awards and grants. She has lectured widely and participated in residencies and symposia around the world. Two documentary features focused on Abid and her work\, produced by the KCTS9 branch of PBS and Seattle Channel\, were both nominated for Northwest Emmy Awards. The artist is represented by Greg Kucera Gallery\, Seattle. \n

DESCRIPTION:Rescheduled – The 2019 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award: Humaira Abid | Thurs\, July 23\, 2020 | 6:30 pm | Virtual Lecture Co-hosted by Winterthur Museum \n  \nRSVP \nJoin us to celebrate the fourth year of the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award. Supported by an anonymous donor\, this award is presented annually to an emerging or mid-career artist whose work\, like Stocksdale’s\, unites quality of craftsmanship and respect for materials. The 2019 recipient for the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award is Humaira Abid of Seattle\, WA. \nIn commemoration of the 2019 Stocksdale Award\, Emily Whitted\, a current Lois F. McNeil Fellow in the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture\, will present a virtual lecture on Abid and renowned master woodturner Bob Stocksdale (1913–2003). Whitted will discuss Abid’s work in the context of the values embodied by Stocksdale\, among them his quality of craftsmanship\, respect for materials\, and artistic innovation in the material of wood. \nAbid works in the disciplines of woodcarving and traditional Mughal miniature painting. Through her depictions of objects and figures\, Abid articulates themes that are often provocative and challenging\, amplified by her manipulation of heritage practices and the materiality of wood. Her carved and painted works\, known for their virtuosity and exquisite detail\, have been exhibited in museums and galleries and documented in publications around the world. \nImages above: Humaira Abid\, Searching for Home\, 2016-17.

SUMMARY:Opening for Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius
DESCRIPTION:Opening for Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius | Fri. May 6\, 2022 | 5:00 – 8:00 pm EDT | In-person Event\nThe Center for Art in Wood invites you to celebrate the opening of its new exhibition\, Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius on the evening of Friday\, May 6th. \nSpoons to Stir the Soul is the first career retrospective exhibition celebrating the life and work of extraordinary wood carver Norm Sartorius. In a career spanning more than 40 years\, he has literally carved a niche for himself\, opening new doors for creative possibilities in the material of wood. He started his career making a wide range of functional wooden objects\, but after a few years\, he focused on the potential of the spoon as an object of art. \nAs Sartorius has often said\, “People look at me rather oddly when I tell them I make non-functional wooden spoons—non-functional in that you wouldn’t use them in the kitchen\, but functional in that they are objects of beauty. My spoons are sculptures; my sculptures are spoons. Not spoons to stir the soup but spoons to stir the soul.” \nThe exhibition will include many of Sartorius’s finest works\, selected from some of the premier private and public collections in the United States. It will trace the dynamic evolution of the artist’s creative expressions\, from his earliest efforts as a professional woodworker in the 1970s\, to his commitment to the spoon as a fine-art category in the 1980s and ‘90s\, and culminating with his current mature vision\, aesthetic refinement\, and woodworking mastery—all of which have produced a unique and deeply soul-stirring oeuvre of art-in-wood. \nThis event is free to the public. The Center 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. \nDONATE \nFor questions\, contact Katie Sorenson\, Director of Outreach and Communications\, at katie@museumforartinwood.org

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Vessel: Embodiment\, Autonomy\, and Ornament in Wood
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Vessel: Embodiment\, Autonomy\, and Ornament in Wood | Fri. Nov 4\, 2022 | 5:00 – 8 pm EDT | In-person Event\nWalk-ups Welcome \nJoin us for First Friday and the opening of Vessel: Embodiment\, Autonomy\, and Ornament in Wood! \nConnecting to the Center for Art in Wood’s origins as an advocate for woodturning in art\, this exhibition examines the vessel as a source of inspiration for artists working in wood. How have they been informed not only by the material and the pleasing roundness of the turned form\, but also questions of offering and ownership\, or concealment and emptiness? For millennia\, the idea of the vessel has been used to explain the secrets of the universe. This exhibition\, which includes works from the Center’s permanent collection as well as on loan\, demonstrates the breadth of reflection\, empowerment\, subversion\, and spiritual awareness inspired by the act of containment and the vessel form. \nWith works by: Humaira Abid\, Michael Bauermeister\, Vivian Chiu\, Kyle Cottier\, Alison Croney Moses\, Frank E. Cummings III\, Aaron Haba\, Michelle Holzapfel\, Dierra Jones\, Maria van Kesteren\, Markuu Kosonen\, Jack Larimore\, Sylvie Rosenthal\, David Sengel\, and Lynne Yamaguchi \nThe exhibition program is generously supported by the Cambium Circle Members of the Center for Art in Wood\, the Bresler Foundation\, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts\, Philadelphia Cultural Fund\, and Windgate Foundation. In-kind support was provided by Boomerang\, Inc. and Sunlite Corporation. \nPictured: Jack Larimore\, Sycamore Story\, 2021

Her curatorial practice is expansive\, constantly seeking to broaden the definitions of what the material of glass is and can be\, with the goal of making the Museum collection reflective of the breadth of artists\, makers\, and thinkers involved in the medium. \nAs part of her role at the Museum\, Silbert serves as the editor of New Glass Review\, an exhibition-in-print designed to provide a snapshot of global glassworking on an annual basis and selects the recipient of the Museum’s Rakow Commission\, awarded annually to an artist whose work is not yet in the Museum’s collection. Her international survey exhibition New Glass Now\, designed to introduce new audiences and new approaches to glass\, debuted in Corning in 2019\, before traveling to the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C. and the Toyama Museum of Glass in Toyama\, Japan. \nSilbert received her BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2003\, worked as a curator and collaborator at the Mark Peiser Studio in Penland\, North Carolina\, for four years as well as in a variety of other curatorial positions before and after earning an MA in decorative arts\, design history\, and material culture from Bard Graduate Center in 2012. She joined The Corning Museum of Glass in 2016. \nJennifer Zwilling\nJennifer Zwilling is the Curator and Director of Artistic Programs. She joined The Clay Studio in 2015 and administers the Resident Artist Program\, Exhibitions\, The Collection\, and the Guest Artist in Residence Program. She earned her BA in History from Ursinus College and MA in Art History from Temple University\, Tyler School of Art. Previously\, she was Assistant Curator of American Decorative Arts and Contemporary Craft at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Jennifer developed and taught History of Modern Craft at Tyler School of Art for ten years\, and has taught and lectured around the world. She represents TCS as a founding Board Member of CraftNOW Philadelphia. \n\n\n\n\nModerator\nEmily Zilber\nEmily Zilber’s work directly supports contemporary art and artists\, especially those whose practices intersect with craft and design. She is the Director of Curatorial Affairs and Strategic Partnerships at the Wharton Esherick Museum\, where she facilitates conversations between contemporary artists and Esherick’s legacy\, adjunct faculty at Tyler School of Art and Architecture\, and maintains an independent consulting and coaching practice.

SUMMARY:Vessel Philadelphia: The Art of Containment and Today's Makers
DESCRIPTION:Vessel Philadelphia: The Art of Containment and Today’s Makers | Fri. Feb 10\, 2023 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm | In-Person Event\nClick HERE to RSVP for this In-Person Event \nJoin us here at the Museum for Art in Wood for a conversation with local artists about how the form of the vessel inspires their work. This is an in-person event. If you are unable to join us\, there will be a recording available afterward. \n\n\n\n  \nPortrait of Miriam Carpenter by Laura Billingham \nMiriam Carpenter is a contemporary artist and designer based in Bucks County\, Pennsylvania. As a Rhode Island School of Design alumna\, she began her career designing alongside Mira Nakashima. Through new processes\, she investigates the mundane\, unveiling the hidden complexities around us. Imbued with heart and soul\, her action-oriented form of art is a union of traditional technique\, ingenuity\, and talent that is rooted in a conscious effort to create lasting positive change. Carpenter’s work can be found internationally in both private and public collections and has been exhibited most notably at the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, Michener Art Museum\, Wharton Esherick Museum\, Fuller Craft Museum\, Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum\, DeVos Art Museum\, Philadelphia International Airport\, SOFA Chicago\, Design Miami and Moderne Gallery where she is currently represented. She has been awarded six international residencies over the past eight years and is an active participant in artist collaborations around the globe. \n  \nSyd Carpenter’s work includes sculpture responding to African American farms and gardens.  She has been a professor of studio art at Swarthmore College since 1991\, retiring in 2022. She began this work after purchasing her home in Philadelphia\, where she began gardening\, following in the footsteps of her mother\, Ernestine Carpenter\, and her grandmother\, Indiana Hutson. Both women were master gardeners.   Subsequent to teaching\, she is developing projects in landscape design in addition to producing sculptures.  Awards include a United States Artist Fellowship\, Anonymous Was a Woman Fellowship\, Pew Fellowship in the Arts\, Multiple Leeway Foundation Fellowships\, National Endowment for the Arts\, the Peggy Chan Endowed Professorship of Black Studies\, The James A. Renwick Distinguished Educators Award\, Multiple Pennsylvania Council on the Arts grants and a Center for Established and Emerging Artists Fellowship. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\,  the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institute\,  Philadelphia Museum of Art\, Montreal Museum of Art\,  the Swedish National Museum\, African American Museum of Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts\, the Tang Museum of Skidmore College\, the Fuller Craft Museum as well as many other public and private collections.   Her guest artist residencies include Haystack Mountain School of Crafts\, Penland\, Peters Valley Center\, Watershed Center\, Anderson Ranch\, Bennington College\, and the Brandywine Graphics Workshop. \n\n\n\n\n  \n\nKate Dannenberg is a jeweler and metalsmith living in South Philadelphia. With thoughtful craftsmanship and attention to tactile experience\, she creates jewelry and objects informed by the visual qualities of the natural world. She is interested in the way humans physically interact with precious and everyday objects—the way these interactions affect both the person and the object. Through her work as a teaching artist and curator\, she strives to uplift the jewelry and craft communities through inclusion\, education\, and enthusiasm. Kate’s work is made by hand from recycled and responsibly sourced materials. \nKate is a member of Ethical Metalsmiths and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Jewelry and Metalsmithing from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2015. Her work was included in The Metal Museum’s exhibition 40 Under 40: The Next Generation Of American Metal Artists in 2019\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art Fine Craft Show (2020-2022)\, and the Smithsonian Women’s Committee’s inaugural Craft Optimism in 2021\, among other exhibitions. She recently completed an artist residency at Penland School of Craft. \n\n\n\n\n  \nJason McDonald is an artist working primarily in glass. Currently\, he lives in Philadelphia\, where he is pursuing an MFA degree at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture. He was introduced to furnace glassblowing at the age of 14 through the Hilltop Artists program in his hometown of Tacoma\, Washington. Jason credits this program for exposing him to glass\, a material that has held his attention and opened up a world of new possibilities. Jason has spent the majority of his career focusing on traditional Venetian furnace techniques\, including goblets and pattern making. He uses glass to talk about a range of issues like the barriers BIPOC people face in accessing creative spaces and the wild joy of chasing technical pursuits. He is passionate about sharing his love of the material as well as the process of glassblowing. His ambitions include building a home studio where he can invite a diverse group of people to come play at the furnace\, with an impractically large garden just outside the workshop door. \n  \nThis 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. \nDONATE \nQuestions?
