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?

SUMMARY:Vessels: A Conversation about What We Hold in Objects and Life
DESCRIPTION:Vessels: A Conversation about What We Hold in Objects and Life | Sun. Jan. 15\, 2023 | 1:00 pm ET | In-person Event\nClick HERE to RSVP to this free in-person event \nWhen you think of a vessel\, what comes to mind? The answers are varied and more complex. Vessels take many forms: a ceramic cup full of tea to warm your spirit and body\, the wooden form that sits on a pedestal in a gallery\, the human body that grows and nurtures life\, and a sacred space filled with care and love that deepens connections. Vessels are an integral part of life\, each different\, each purposeful\, and yet unassuming. Join Alison Croney Moses and Bintu Conté as they delve into the manifestation and undercurrents of vessels in their lives and communities. \nImage above: Alison Croney Moses\, What We Hold\, 2022. Photo by Michelle Davidson\, Shapiro Photography.\n\n  \n\nPortrait for Alison Croney Moses by Tyahra Angus \nAlison Croney Moses creates wooden objects that reach out to your senses—the smell of cedar\, the color of honey or the deep blue sea\, the round form that signifies safety and warmth\, the gentle curve that beckons to be touched. Her work is in the collections at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. She is a recent recipient of the 2022 USA Fellowship in Craft and has been featured in American Craft Magazine. \nShe has worked over the past 15 years in alternative education settings to build out education programs that center the communities in which they take place. She is currently the Associate Director at the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts\, where she founded the Teen Bridge and Artist in Residence programs to help cultivate the current and next generation of artists and leaders in art and craft. She holds an MA in Sustainable Business & Communities from Goddard College\, and a BFA in Furniture Design from Rhode Island School of Design. \n  \nSelf-portrait by the Artist \nBintu Conté is born of the Mende and Maninka tribes of West Africa. Her roots and experience shape her 20+ years as a movement artist and trainer. She creates and holds sacred space on individual\, community\, and organizational levels to build [BCH1] shared connectivity. In her work\, she centers on Traditional West African and Black Dance movements\, cypher processes\, and other somatic practices to support the cultivation of awareness\, healing\, and community wellness. \nAs an artist\, Conté has partnered and collaborated with culture keepers nationally and internationally\, and she most recently served as a teaching artist at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee. She is also the co-founder of the Racines Black Dance Festival- Black Dance Boston and the founder of JAARA\, a non-profit dedicated to the preservation\, visibility\, and advancement of Afro-Diaspora arts and culture. Outside of her art\, Conté has 15+ years as a racial equity capacity builder with a variety of organizations based in the San Francisco and Boston areas. \n  \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 \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program Panel Discussion | Mon. Oct 3\, 2022 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm | LIVE on ZOOM\nCLICK HERE TO RSVP \n  \nJoin us for a panel discussion with the 2022 Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program moderated by 2019 residency alumni John-Dune Kingsley on Monday\, October 3rd. We’ll learn about their experiences\, collaborations\, and breakthroughs during the residency. Don’t miss this special event. \n  \nKailee Bosch\, Student Artist\nKailee Bosch is from Fort Collins\, Colorado. She obtained a BFA in Sculpture and Pottery from Colorado State University in 2020. Her practice stems from a background in woodturning\, growing up in her father’s shop making small objects on the lathe. Currently Kailee primarily works with wood and bronze\, blending traditional craft practices with digital fabrication and making both functional objects and speculative designs. \n  \n  \nKatie Hudnall\, Visual Documentarian and Artist\nKatie Hudnall builds other-worldly\, interactive furnitural objects that behave in expected and unexpected ways.  She received an MFA in woodworking/furniture design from Virginia Commonwealth University and a BFA in Sculpture from the Corcoran College of Art in Washington\, DC.  She lives and works in Madison\, WI\, where she runs the Wood & Furniture program at the University of Madison\, Wisconsin. Hudnall joined the residency program as an artist in 2016 and is looking forward to returning this summer as the group’s Visual Documentarian.  She is looking forward to sharing the residents’ experience through the blog posts\, as well as through sketchbook drawings and small cabinets that will contain some of the “artifacts” from this year’s adventures and cohort. \n  \n  \nJames Maurelle\, Artist\nJames Maurelle is an interdisciplinary artist\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, and sound art are his analog and digital primes. His work investigates the correlation formed between labor and creativity; at the center of this byway is the spirit of his work. Constructing objects and moving images are not unlike creating music compositions: the accompaniment\, i.e.\, tools and materials\, are a call and response to dexterity. The rubric to complete any composition is to know one’s instrument(s)/tools; the creative process is based on this reciprocal understanding. His work has shown in solo and group exhibitions in New York\, Minneapolis-Saint Paul\, Austin\, Philadelphia\, New Orleans\, Richmond\, Cincinnati\, and San Francisco. He is a recipient of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture Fellowship (2015). \n  \nJanice Smith\, Artist\nFor 40 years\, Janice has been designing and building unique wood furniture. Her interest in furniture began when “Shop for Girls”\nwas offered for the first time in high school. She still love turning ideas into reality. She especially enjoys creating a sense of movement in her designs and playing with balance and asymmetry. \n  \n  \nChris Storb\, Artist\nChris has worked professionally in the historic furniture field for over 40 years. His expertise is in the history of woodworking techniques\, processes\, and materials\, coupled with the ability to share that expertise in a meaningful way with the public. Chris worked in the conservation department of the Philadelphia Museum of Art since 2003 where he collaborated on the conservation of a broad range of American furniture in the Museum’s collection. Most recently he worked for the Dietrich American Foundation at the Philadelphia Museum of Art performing an examination\, assessment\, and treatment of over 150 wood objects in the Foundation’s collection. He has published and lectured widely on historic furniture\, woodcarving\, and the history of woodworking and continues to write for his blog “In Proportion to the Trouble.” \n  \nD Wood\, Scholar\nD Wood designed and made furniture to earn a Diploma in Crafts and Design at Sheridan College in Canada and an MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her PhD from the University of Otago was about craft and studio furniture in New Zealand. She is the editor of and a contributor to Craft is Political (Bloomsbury 2021). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJohn-Duane Kingsley\, 2019 Scholar and Panel Moderator\nJohn-Duane Kingsley is a divergent thinker whose professional work and interests straddle LGBTQIA+ identity and representation within museums\, historic interiors\, contemporary craft/design\, and public education. Because these topics aren’t contained by a specific institution or discipline\, Kingsley created the DANDYCRAFT website to serve as a publicly accessible repository of his work. \nAfter pursuing an MA in Decorative Arts & Design History from George Washington University\, Kingsley moved to Detroit\, Michigan\, to supervise the design of custom reproduction furniture and decorative arts for the restoration of Fair Lane: The Home of Clara & Henry Ford. His consulting work for Twisted Preservation Cultural Consulting focuses on interpreting LGBTQIA+ narratives in cultural heritage sites. Kingsley is a published author writing on contemporary craft and design\, can be found in MetalSmith Magazine\, The Journal of Modern Craft\, and exhibit catalog for allTURNatives at the Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia\, PA\, and as a contributing writer for the Decorative Arts Trust Bulletin. \n  \nThe Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program is a collegial experience in which the resident Fellows explore new work through research\, exploration\, and collaboration. The Center for Art in Wood awards prestigious fellowships for the annual residency program\, selecting from an international pool of applicants. Fellowships consist of five artists\, a visual documentarian\, a scholar/educator/writer\, and a student artist. Fellows work either solely in wood or in other materials in meaningful combination with wood. Applicants must exhibit proficiency in woodworking techniques in order to be eligible. The residency concludes in an exhibition at the Center for Art in Wood comprising work made by Fellows before and during the program. \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\, Community Engagement Manager\, at katie@museumforartinwood.org

SUMMARY:The Decency Project – Craft and Labor as Communal Conduit with Scott Braun
DESCRIPTION:The Decency Project – Craft and Labor as Communal Conduit with Scott Braun | Wed. July 27\, 2022 | 6:30 pm EDT | Live on ZOOM\nTo RSVP\, click HERE \nJoin us for a talk with Scott Braun on the Decency Project. The Decency Project ranges from intimate dialog to group conversation to performative demonstrations and sometimes even collaborative performance. In all cases\, finding connection and community through craft and labor is at the core. What does it mean to be human? If I am human\, what does that mean I should do\, and not do? How do we define decency and shame? Come join us for this discussion and find answers together. At least more questions. Or maybe just a way to feed each other. \nThe image above is Scott Braun demonstrating spoon carving. \nScott Braun is a visual artist\, educator\, and socio-political activist whose interactive performances\, sculptures\, and installations engage participants in an exploration of self in the context of society. He has been artist-in-residence at Anderson Ranch in Colorado and Haystack in Maine\, and his work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at the Queens Museum\, Sideshow Gallery\, The Rosenthal Library\, Benton/Nyce Gallery\, Pei-Ling Chen Sculpture Garden at Savannah College of Art and Design\, Rye Arts Center gallery\, and the American University Museum. \nHis current endeavor\, “The Decency Project\,” draws upon his extensive background in woodworking and social practice\, using craft and labor as a conduit for creating community. The project has traveled from Richmond\, VA to Washington\, DC\, and New York\, NY\, and is featured in the documentary series “The Line (That Divides Us).” The Decency Project has also been featured right here at the Center for Art in Wood and Love Park in Philadelphia\, PA\, and recently at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden\, CO\, in Fall 2021. \nBraun has worked professionally as a musician\, spoken word performer\, furniture designer/maker\, visual artist\, and educator. He has served as Lecturer in Sculpture at Yale School of Art\, Faculty at New York School of Interior Design\, and Assistant Professor in the Craft/Material Studies Department at VCUArts in Richmond\, VA. He holds a BA in Music from Berklee College of Music in Boston\, and an MFA in Studio Art and Social Practice from Queens College\, CUNY in NY. \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\, Senior Manager of Partnerships and Engagement\, at katie@museumforartinwood.org

SUMMARY:A Curatorial Talk with Craig Edelbrock
DESCRIPTION:A Curatorial Talk with Craig Edelbrock | Wed. June 22\, 2022 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm EDT | ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for a discussion with author and curator Craig Edelbrock on the current exhibition Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius. We’ll talk about the process of preparing for an exhibition that spans over 40 years of work and the painstaking collection of information for the accompanying book. Don’t miss this talk with a true champion of craft! \nProtrait of Craig Edelbrock \nAuthor Craig Edelbrock retired from an academic career and is pursuing a second passion as a craft author and curator. He is vitally interested in the history\, current state\, and future of fine craft in America. He has served on the Boards of the Wharton Esherick Museum\, The Center for Art in Wood\, the Kentuck Art Center\, and the Collectors of Wood Art. \nCraig is a woodturner and spoon carver under the mentorship of Norm Sartorius. Norm\, Barry Gordon\, and Phil Jurus collaborated previously with Craig on major exhibits of Emil Milan’s works and the award-winning book Emil Milan: Midcentury Master (2018). An article about Milan written by Craig appeared in American Craft magazine (Oct/Nov 2018). \nIn preparation for Norm’s biography\, Craig interviewed more than thirty people intertwined in different ways with Norm’s life and art\, including family members\, childhood friends\, college classmates\, fellow artists\, collaborators\, collectors\, curators\, and museum directors. Drawing on his professional training and expertise in lifespan human development\, Craig’s biography explicates Norm’s life in the context of his times and addresses his motivations\, aspirations\, inspirations\, and influences. Particular attention was paid to Norm’s “Deep Well” of artistic content and to his creative process. \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 \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk for Spoons to Stir the Soul with Norm Sartorius
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Talk for Spoons to Stir the Soul with Norm Sartorius | Sat. May 7\, 2022 | 1:00 pm EDT | Hybrid Event\nClick HERE to RSVP\nGuests may join us in person or via ZOOM \nJoin us for a Gallery Tour of Spoons to Stir the Soul with artist Norm Sartorius who will lead you through the first career retrospective exhibition celebrating 40 years of his life and work. The exhibition includes many of Sartorius’s finest works\, selected from some of the premier private and public collections in the United States. In addition to Sartorius’s spoons\, Spoons to Stir the Soul will include outstanding examples demonstrating the breadth of his artistic repertoire\, including larger sculptures. \nNorm Sartorius (b. 1947) has built a unique career sculpting wooden spoons that\, as he says\, “stir the soul\, not the soup.” Leaving a job in psychiatric social work\, he embarked as a young man on a quest to find something tangible to make with his hands. With no background\, he apprenticed with versatile crafters Phil and Sandye Jurus in Baltimore. He learned about tools and techniques in wood and metal. Leaving the city\, he became a hippie homesteader in the mountains of West Virginia living on 25 acres on a remote mountaintop for five years. He sold functional woodenware of various kinds at local craft fairs\, but it was his spoons that caught people’s attention. They had an artistic flair that hinted at ta deep artistic well of ideas and forms expressed as spoonish sculptures. Norm\, too has said that spoons held a special attraction for him from the start. \nNow 30 years on\, Norm has “stayed in his seat\,” exploring the common wooded spoon as a context for sculpture. Using woods of exceptional beauty\, he shapes each spoon to stand as a unique artistic statement of color\, form\, and texture. Advancing the art of the spoon to a very high level\, each work is inspired by the wood itself\, and draws on his deep repository of creative ideas and ancient spoon making traditions worldwide. \n\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 \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:How it Started and How it's Going: Collector Dan Zobel
DESCRIPTION:How it Started and How it’s Going: Collector Dan Zobel | Thurs. March 31\, 2022 | 6:30 pm EST | LIVE on ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for How it Started and How it’s Going\, a speaker series with collectors. We’ll dive into their collections and learn about how they got started and why; we’ll hear what attracts them to certain pieces and see some of their favorite works. We will also discuss what makes someone a collector of art and how to start your own collection. Our next talk features collector and woodturner\, Dan Zobel. \nDon’t miss this special glimpse into a collection! \nDan Zobel is a Philadelphia furniture shop manager\, woodturner\, and collector of wood art. Dan’s love of woodworking and woodturning began in 2007 under the tutelage of Mark Sfirri at Bucks County Community College.  Through school as well as the attendance of collaborative events\, primarily Echo Lake\, he made many connections with fellow local\, national and international woodworkers. \nDan’s wood art collection began when he went to a Michael Hosaluk demo. Michael was about to do a demo at Indiana University of Pennsylvania\, where Dan was driving out to the next day. In exchange for taking his tools and paints out\, Michael gifted Dan a small demo piece.  The kindness\, trust\, and demonstrated skill from this interaction only expounded his love for the art. \nThe local woodturning community and friendships have helped to continually grow Dan’s love of the art and collection.  His collection is not nearly the scale of the renowned collector from the first talk in this series\, Joe Seltzer\, but one unique aspect of the collection is there are no restrictions.  Dan’s collection includes prints\, furniture\, turnings\, and sculpture. \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 \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Michael Ferris
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Michael Ferris | Thurs. January 27\, 2022 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm EST | Zoom Event\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin the Center for Art in Wood for a virtual discussion with Bronx-based sculpture artist Michael Ferris. During his presentation\, Ferris will share insights about portraiture\, the cultural and art-historical influences behind his unique visual language\, and the humble materials that give form to his body of work. Don’t miss your chance to meet the artist behind this singular figurative sculpture and his timeless\, larger-than-life portrayal of everyday people. Extra-Human: The Art of Michael Ferris is on view at the Center for Art in Wood through April 24\, 2022. \nThe larger-than-life figurative sculptures of Bronx-based artist Michael Ferris embody a rich fusion of cultural and artistic traditions. Trained as a painter\, Ferris embraced sculpture twenty-five years ago and developed an inlay technique inspired by intarsia woodworking from his Middle-Eastern heritage. Ferris’s unique approach to this historical process involves the reclaiming of discarded wood\, a method informed by his environmental concerns. He further expands this traditional practice through the use of pigmented grout\, which yields a color palette that contrasts with wood’s natural hues. \nMichael Ferris’s work has been exhibited widely at museums across the nation and his work can be found in public collections at the de Young Museum in San Francisco\, CA; Illinois State Museum in Springfield\, IL; and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville\, AR. Extra-Human\, which is guest-curated by Suzanne Ramljak\, is the first museum solo exhibition of the artist’s career to be presented on the East Coast. \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\, Senior Manager of Partnerships and Engagement\, at katie@museumforartinwood.org

SUMMARY:Connection - A performative work by artist Dierra Jones
DESCRIPTION:Connection – A performative work by artist Dierra Jones | Wed. October 6\, 2021 | 6:30 pm EDT | LIVE on ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for performance and discussion with contemporary jewelry artist Dierra Jones. Connection is a performance piece about the personal relationships we form to people and places in our lives. With one connection we form a link\, but with many connections\, we form a chain. A connection creates stability and sturdiness. \n  \nDierra Jones \nDierra Jones is an artist and a K-5 visual arts teacher based in Savannah\, GA. She holds a BFA in Studio Arts from Virginia State University and a MFA in Jewelry from Savannah College of Art and Design. Storytelling and place both psychologically and geographically are important aspects in Jones’s studio practice\, where each piece is inscribed with her emotions and identity. This causes a transference between the work and the viewer\, which is a subjective experience.  \n  \n  \n  \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\, Senior Manager of Partnerships and Engagement\, at katie@museumforartinwood.org

September 14\, 2021 | 6:30 pm EDT | Atelier Gallery 1301 N. 31st Street\, Suite 2\, Philadelphia | In-Person Event Vaccination and Masks Required\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for a special tour of sculptor Jack Larimore’s solo exhibition of new works at Atelier Gallery on Tuesday\, September 14th at 6:30 pm EDT. Sculpture artist\, furniture maker\, and landscape architect Jack Larimore has been making three-dimensional work in various media for 35 years.

The exhibition will be on view at Atelier Gallery\, located in the Brewerytown section of Philadelphia\, September 10 — October 16\, 2021. \n\n\n\nThe new work presented in Sculpture explores dualism and the artist’s exploration into the relentless conflict between head and heart.

Deeply immersed in nature\, Larimore is drawn to the wonder of the natural world\, unencumbered by science and human constructs. \nThis is an in-person event at Atelier Gallery. Masks and vaccination are required to enter. Space is limited. \n\n\n\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\, Senior Manager of Partnerships and Engagement\, at katie@museumforartinwood.org \nImage: Jack Larimore\, Trial\, 2019\, cedar and steel
