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.

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?

June 18\, 2022 \nSat. June 25\, 2022 \n  \n*Registration for this workshop closes June 10\, 2022 \nIn collaboration\, Glen Foerd and the Center for Art in Wood present Steam Bending and Basket Weaving\, a cross-disciplinary workshop with artists Brian Skalaski and Janine Wang. During this two-day workshop\, participants will combine steam bending and basket weaving to create sculptures and functional objects that embody each discipline’s organic and material characteristics. \nIn the first session\, we will cover the principles of steam bending. Participants will learn to create their own simple steam bending jigs to make unique and dynamic bends in wood. In the second session\, participants will learn the fundamentals of basket weaving\, then learn how to apply these to their steam-bent structures\, giving volume and form to their wooden lines. \nABOUT GLEN FOERD\nGlen Foerd\, listed on the National Register of Historic Places\, is located on 18 acres at the confluence of the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River. It is the only remaining riverfront estate in Philadelphia open to the public. The estate was saved from demolition by a coalition of dedicated neighbors in the immediate community. They formed the non-profit Glen Foerd Conservation Corporation to manage and operate the estate\, which is leased from Philadelphia Parks and Recreation. Glen Foerd stewards an eclectic riverfront estate for the enjoyment and educational benefit of the community. Drawing from the estate’s architecture\, art\, material culture\, and history – as well as its gardens and waterways – Glen Foerd provides inclusive experiences that spark curiosity and support Philadelphia’s natural and cultural ecosystems. The estate grounds are free to the public and open every day from dawn to dusk. \nABOUT THE CENTER FOR ART IN WOOD\nThe Center for Art in Wood is a museum of contemporary art\, craft\, and design in the material of wood.

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.

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 URL:https://museumforartinwood.org/event/opening-for-spoons-to-stir-the-soul-the-world-of-norm-sartorius/ LOCATION:The Center for Art in Wood\, 141 N 3rd Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19106\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://museumforartinwood.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Amboyna-Burl-Spoon-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The%20Center%20for%20Art%20in%20Wood":MAILTO:info@museumforartinwood.org GEO:39.9533152;-75.1447709 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Center for Art in Wood 141 N 3rd Street Philadelphia PA 19106 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=141 N 3rd Street:geo:-75.1447709,39.9533152 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220428T183000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220428T200000 DTSTAMP:20260423T065508 CREATED:20220413T192621Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220428T215152Z UID:10001608-1651170600-1651176000@museumforartinwood.org SUMMARY:A Celebration of Life: Garry Knox Bennett DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of Life: Garry Knox Bennett | Thurs.

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?
