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?

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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tour - Jack Larimore: Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Tour – Jack Larimore: Sculpture | Tues. 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. His upcoming exhibition\, Jack Larimore: Sculpture\, will spotlight recent large-scale installations by the artist. 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. Much of the work in this recent series reveals Larimore’s embrace of mystery and his belief that the unanswered is more provocative than the answered. 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
