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: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: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:Opening for Extra-Human: The Art of Michael Ferris
DESCRIPTION:Opening for Extra-Human: The Art of Michael Ferris | Fri. November 5\, 2021 | 5 – 8 pm EDT | In-Person Event\nThe Center for Art in Wood invites you to celebrate the opening of its new exhibition\, Extra-Human: The Art of Michael Ferris on the evening of Friday\, November 5. \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 \n  \nToufic\, 2010.
