SUMMARY:How it Started and How it’s Going: Collector talk with Randy Pi
DESCRIPTION:How it Started and How it’s Going: Collector talk with Randy Pi | Wed. Sept 14\, 2022 | 6:30 pm EDT | 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 ER physician Randy Pi. \nPortrait of Randy Pi with some of his collection. \nRandy Pi: I’m an ER physician by night and a world traveler\, music lover\, and\, as my friends say\, patron of the arts by day.  I am so uplifted by incredible sights and sounds on my global jaunts.  Human artistic and architectural achievements as well as scenes of natural grandeur fill me with awe and humility. They inspire me to stay motivated and resilient in my demanding line of work. The tallest tree in the world is right here in my home state of California. The widest tree in the world is located in not-too-far Oaxaca\, Mexico where local artisans produce some of the world’s most exquisite woodworks. I can’t bring any giant trees home. I can’t bring any timber-constructed ancient castles from around the world home.  But I can bring music from different cultures home.  And by golly I can bring contemporary sculptures\, turned wood art and designs\, studio furniture\,  and traditional crafts home.  Living with wood art is a continuous source of joy and inspiration.When one thinks of music and wood\, the violin comes to mind. But for the home\, there is another important connection\, namely the stereo speakers. The illusion of live music playing at home can only be created by stereo speakers of sufficient size and volume. The vast majority of these speakers are wood constructions. And so at the confluence of engineering\, design\, and ethereal music lie the first wood sculptures at my home—stereo speakers. Looking back\, that’s where the story of my wood collection began. Hope you’ll join me as this story unfolds. It shall be one filled with lyrical and creative souls I’ve met along the way. \nDon’t miss this special glimpse into a collection! \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:Queering Wood Craft: An LGBTQIA+ Woodworkers Roundtable Part 5
DESCRIPTION:Queering Wood Craft: An LGBTQIA+ Woodworkers Roundtable Part 5 | Sat. Sept 10\, 2022 | 1:00 pm ET | LIVE on ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP \nThe Center for Art in Wood launched a series of conversations with queer woodworkers. Independent scholar and curator John-Duane Kingsley will lead this edition of the roundtable discussion with leading queer woodworkers and artists in wood\, sharing the ways their lived experience impacts their craft\, process\, and aesthetic. Join us for an enlightening and fun afternoon. \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. \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 Tour for Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Tour for Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius | Sat. June 11\, 2022 | 2 pm and 4 pm | The Center for Art in Wood and The Furniture Society\nRSVP for the 2 pm Tour \nRSVP for the 4 pm Tour \nJoin us for a guided tour of our current exhibition\, Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius. Spoons 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. The exhibition includes many of Sartorius’s finest works\, selected from some of the premier private and public collections in the United States. The show traces 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. \nFor questions contact Katie Sorenson\, Director of Outreach and Communications at katie@museumforartinwood.org or 215-923-8000 ext 103.

SUMMARY:Book Signing for Joinery\, Joists and Gender: A History of Woodworking for the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Book Signing for Joinery\, Joists and Gender: A History of Woodworking for the 21st Century | Thurs. May 26\, 2022 | 6:00 – 7:30 pm | In-Person Event\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for an evening with curator\, educator\, artist\, and author Deirdre Visser. We’ll discuss her just-published book Joinery\, Joists\, and Gender: A History of Woodworking for the 21st Century (Routledge\, 2022). She’ll be there to sign your copy of the book and answer any questions. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Deirdre and hear about the fascinating history of the many roles women have held in the shop\, to explore equity\, economics\, sustainability\, and community in the field of woodworking. \nPortrait of Deirdre Visser \nSan Francisco native Deirdre Visser is a curator\, educator\, visual artist\, and woodworker in the city’s Mission District. As Curator of The Arts at CIIS since 2010\, Visser connects history to the present to look for common themes and engage historical context in a deeper understanding of the challenges we face today. She also has an active visual practice engaged with the arts as a form of civic participation\, working collaboratively for the past decade with the Skywatchers Ensemble in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. \nVisser started woodworking as an undergraduate in the sculpture studio\, learning to build furniture from old-growth Douglas fir scavenged from dumpsters. She later worked as a finish carpenter on residential remodeling sites. Mostly self-taught\, Visser continued to pursue woodworking; in 2015-2016\, she studied furniture-making at the Krenov School in Mendocino. \nVisser is co-curator with Laura Mays of Making a Seat at the Table: Women Transform Woodworking\, the survey exhibition that grew out of this research process for this book and debuted in 2019 at The Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia featuring 43 contemporary women and gender non-conforming woodworkers. \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?
