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

Masks and vaccination are required to enter.

SUMMARY:How it Started and How it’s Going: Collector Joe Seltzer
DESCRIPTION:How it Started and How it’s Going: Collector Joe Seltzer | Wed. May 12\, 2021 | 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 first talk will feature Collector\, Woodturner\, and retired Educator Joe Seltzer. \nDon’t miss this special glimpse into a collection! \nJoe Seltzer \nJoe Seltzer is a woodturner and avid collector of wood art. He first noticed woodturning in 1985 when he went to the Renwick to see the Jacobson Collection. He began to go to local craft shows and shortly thereafter\, decided to limit his collection to pieces less than 7 inches in height or diameter. In about 1988 he read a newspaper article about Albert LeCoff\, tracked him down\, and went to visit. From that and many subsequent interactions\, he began to learn about the field. He started to go to national craft shows and conferences and met many artists and collectors who became friends. He is a founding Board Member of the Collectors of Wood Art (CWA)\, was on the Board for 12 years\, including a term as President. He helped organize two conferences presented jointly by the CWA and the Wood Turning Center (now CAW). \nIn 1998\, Joe became involved with the annual local collaborative conference called Echo Lake and has been on the steering committee and attended ever since. He helped organize a tenth anniversary retrospective exhibition held at CAW and a twentieth-anniversary retrospective exhibit at New Hope Arts. \nHis collection now includes over 1200 objects\, all of which except about two dozen fit the 7-inch criteria. \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 \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:The 2020 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award: Kristin LeVier
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award: Kristin LeVier | Thurs\, April 22\, 2021 | 6:30 pm | Virtual Lecture Co-hosted by Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\nImages: Kristin LeVier\, Winter Nest\, 2019. Photo: Jonathan Billing. Bob Stocksdale\, Snake Bowl\, 1984. Photo: John Carlano.\nClick here to RSVP \nJoin us to celebrate the fifth year of the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award. Supported by an anonymous donor\, this award is presented annually to an emerging or mid-career artist whose work unites quality of craftsmanship and respect for material\, for which renowned master woodturner Bob Stocksdale (1913–2003) is known. The 2020 recipient for the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award is Kristin LeVier\, Moscow\, ID. \nIn commemoration of the 2020 Stocksdale Award\, Jena Gilbert-Merrill\, a current Lois F. McNeil Fellow in the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture\, will present a lecture on LeVier and renowned master woodturner Bob Stocksdale (1913 – 2003). Gilbert-Merrill\, whose research interest is focused on the history and experience of empathy-embedded objects and materials\, will discuss LeVier’s work in the context of Stocksdale’s impact and legacy\, including his quality of craftsmanship\, respect for materials\, commitment to human rights\, and artistic innovation in the material of wood. \n  \nKristin LeVier by Jonathan Billing. \nKristin LeVier: I create minimalist contemporary sculpture inspired by my deep fascination with the natural world\, and my mission as an artist is to tell a story through work at the intersection of art and science. I’m driven to make art that excites curiosity and connects us to the extraordinary\, strange beauty of the world around us. \nThe two decades I spent as a research molecular biologist allowed me to explore the complexity of our world\, and I continue to view my surroundings through the eyes of a scientist. The structure of a leaf or the movement of a bacterium can be astonishingly beautiful\, and I sculpt with the aim of illuminating the subtle and the tiny. \nThrough my work I hope to deliver scientific content viscerally to encourage curiosity and a desire to look more closely at the smallest details of the fantastically rich and beautiful world around us. \n  \nJena Gilbert-Merrill by Emily Bach \nJena Gilbert-Merrill is a scholar and artist with an interest in making\, makership\, and materiality. She graduated from Swarthmore College in 2016 with a BA in Studio Art & Educational Studies\, completed a postgraduate program in Ceramics at the Maryland Institute College of Art\, and is currently a Lois F. McNeil Fellow in the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture. With her background in art-making\, craftwork\, and education\, Jena is especially drawn to investigate how things are made\, the empathy embedded in handmade objects\, and the unique way that objects and materials can contain\, encode\, and reveal stories\, history\, and experience. Her current research revolves around the cultural and personal significance of making and material intelligence\, as well as notions of skill\, professionalism\, and amateurism in the context of early 20th-century craft and design. \n  \nBob Stocksdale (1913–2003) was an internationally renowned pioneer of contemporary wood turning. Known for his striking lathe-turned bowls\, formed from exotic woods\, Stocksdale is credited with sparking the revitalization of the craft of wood turning and its growing significance as an art form. His signature work comprised smooth\, elegant bowl forms that emphasized the natural color and distinctive grain pattern of the wood. \nStocksdale grew up on his family’s farm in Warren\, Indiana. He began working with wood as a teenager repairing furniture and taught himself how to turn on the lathe. Drafted into the US Army in 1942\, Stocksdale claimed Conscientious Objector status and spent the duration of WWII in Civilian Public Service camps. It was in such a camp where he turned his first bowl. \nFollowing the war\, Stocksdale moved to Berkeley\, CA\, and became an early member of the Arts and Crafts Cooperative\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Lessons from the Chair - A Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Lessons from a Chair | Thurs. April 15\, 2021 | 6:30 pm EST | LIVE on ZOOM\nRSVP to receive the link \nJoin us for an evening with Don Miller\, a woodworker\, luthier\, and educator; Mi-Kyoung Lee\, Professor and Program Director of Craft+Material Studies at the University of the Arts; and two of their former students\, Joong Han Bae and Nick Flaherty. We’ll talk about the fundamentals of building a chair\, and—perhaps more importantly—how learning a skill impacts our own growth and understanding of the object as an extension of the physical and metaphysical body. \nDon Miller is a Philadelphia-based woodworker and educator. He holds an MFA in 3D Design from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and studied musical instrument design at London College of Furniture. After 14 years of teaching at The University of the Arts\, Miller retired as an Associate Professor from Crafts & Material Studies Program. He has participated in residencies in Sweden and South Korea. He has numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally including the Mulvane Museum\, Fuller Craft Museum\, Center for Craft\, Seokdang Art Museum\, in Korea\, Steneby Skolan and Rohska Museey in Sweden. He was a contributing writer for the recent publication Craft Time in Craft Capital\, written by Glen Adamson\, to celebrate Contemporary Crafts and its history in Philadelphia. He makes objects\, both contemplative and functional\, working at the intersection of material\, process and history. He inhabits a workshop in Germantown\, Pennsylvania. \nMi-Kyoung Lee has been Director of the Craft and Material Studies Program since 2016\, and Professor of Fibers/Textiles since 2003 at University of the Arts in Philadelphia. She received her BFA from Dong-A University in Korea\, and earned two master’s degrees; an MFA in Book Arts and Printmaking from University of the Arts; and an MFA in Fibers from Cranbrook Academy of Arts. Lee has participated in numerous solo exhibitions\, lectures as well as curatorial\, publishing\, theater\, and collaborative projects with notable venues like the Arizona Art Museum\, Cranbrook Museum of Art\, Reading Public Museum\, Painted Bride Art Center\, SOFA in New York and Chicago\, Busan Metropolitan Museum\, Espace de Tisserands\, International Fiber Art Fair in Seoul\, Beijing International Fiber Biennale\, and the 8th Beijing International Visual Art Biennale. Lee has served as a Foreign Expert from the School of Art and Design\, Tsinghua University\, Beijing\, and as an Advisory Board member for the Center for Emerging Visual Artists in Philadelphia since 2019. \nJoonghan Bae is a 31-year-old artist and designer based in Bloomfield Hills\, MI. He was born in Seoul and moved to Philadelphia in 2010\, where he studied fine art and woodworking. He then moved to Bloomfield Hills to attend Cranbrook Academy of Art and received an MFA in 3D Design in 2020. He takes inspiration from nature\, man-made structures\, and fantasy while playing with the boundaries between form and function. Bae grew up in a house full of Suseok. Suseok is a Korean traditional form of art centered around collecting stones\, which his grandfather avidly practiced. He remembers the visceral feeling of the stones and how they were both comforting and inspired his imagination. As a son of an architect/ engineer\, he appreciates the collective human mind that allows us to create great man-made structures. With these legacies\, many of his works explore the emotional response to nature\, fantasy\, and the beauty of human reason. \nNick Flaherty is a woodworker\, woodturner and carpenter living in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania.  He attended the fine woodworking program at Bucks County Community College before receiving his BFA from the University of the Arts in 2019. He has received numerous Windgate Foundation awards and scholarships and has participated in residencies at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts and Penland School of Crafts.  He was in the midst of plotting and seamlessly executing his global takeover when the pandemic halted his plans.  He currently works as a residential carpenter\, incorporating his fine woodworking skills directly into clients homes. \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?
