SUMMARY:Object Lesson: Nashay Jones
DESCRIPTION:Object Lesson | Nashay Jones | Fri. Dec 4\, 2020 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm EDT | Live on ZOOM\nRSVP \nJoin us for First Friday Object Lesson followed by a festive virtual happy hour. Object Lesson is a monthly First Friday speaker series that opens wide the cases of the Center’s Museum Collection through the perspectives of individuals from the worlds of art\, design\, performance\, community activism\, education\, and more\, creating fresh dialogues about the Collection and its objects. The series invites the public for an up-close and personal experience in an informal\, discursive setting that will encourage exploration of the many treasures in the Collection. \nPhoto by Stephanie Reyer \nNashay “Nyela” Antoinette Jones is an interdisciplinary artist\, working in paint\, pixels\, and mixed media to tell embodied stories of female-bodied Black people. “This body–my body\,” and others like it–are their frame of reference\, the aperture through which they understand the world. They often use it as metaphor\, wanting not only to tell its stories of pain and heartache\, but also its stories of love\, hope\, and joy. Nashay holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art from Goddard College and is currently working towards an MA in Museum Studies from the University of the Arts. \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

For two summer months\, artists and researchers from around the world live\, work\, ideate\, and create together in the clamorous center of Philadelphia. Together\, they share knowledge and skill\, but also form lasting bonds that extend beyond the residency. During this tumultuous time\, breakthroughs\, intense bursts of creativity\, material and conceptual experimentations\, and collaborations occur. Significantly\, this singular place-based experience engages a wide community\, beyond the participating fellows—from children enjoying interactive and touchable works in the culminating exhibition of residency work\, to collectors seeking to expand their art holdings.  \nIn the spirit of CraftNOW’s 2020 theme\, Cultures of Making\, the panel discussion\, featuring past fellows of the residency program\, explores the before\, during\, and after experiences sparked by the ITE. It offers a window into this legendary program\, which is now a benchmark for artists seeking to deepen their engagement with the material of wood. The panel accompanies the Center’s concurrent exhibition marking 25 years of the Windgate ITE program. \nTo learn more about Craft Month and the CraftNOW Symposium visit: https://www.craftnowphila.org/symposium/ \nImage: Cristina Tamarez\, Don’t Drop the Log\, 2018

SUMMARY:Catland: The Soft Power of Cat Culture in Japan
DESCRIPTION: \nCatland: The Soft Power of Cat Culture in Japan | Thurs. October 22\, 2020 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm | LIVE on ZOOM\nRSVP \nImage: Cat priest Koyuki at the Nyannyanji Temple in Kyoto\, photograph by Rie Yamamoto.\nJoin us for a fun\, and fascinating discussion on the phenomenon of Japanese cat culture with author Sarah Archer. \nImagine you’re reading the news\, and you come across an article about a new product or service that caters to cats. Maybe it strikes you as unusually thoughtful\, or it looks exceptionally well-crafted. Perhaps it appears to have been undertaken with a seriousness of purpose and attention to detail that would rival that of any human-centered endeavor—and this seriousness\, in and of itself\, is irresistibly endearing. Do you have any doubt where this hypothetical cat product or service comes from? You do not: it’s from Japan. \nThe world of Japanese cat culture is vast. Enter\, and you’ll discover Shinto and Buddhist beliefs about animals and nature\, folklore about cats both real and supernatural\, cats depicted in Japanese works of art and literature over the course of centuries\, cat-inspired material culture and everyday objects\, cat animation\, the global export of cuteness\, cat tourism and nekonomics—the local term for the economic boon that results from a popular cat attraction. Japan’s cat culture contains multitudes\, and it transcends physical geography. You might be allergic to cats. You might not be a cat person. (Yet.) But once you’ve been beckoned inside\, the chances are good that you’ll decide to stay a while. Welcome to Catland. \nCatland: The Soft Power of Cat Culture in Japan is available from Amazon\, Barnes & Noble\, Bookshop\, and IndieBound. Stay tuned for news of upcoming events and book-signings! Press inquiries: please email Nicholas Teodoro at Countryman Press. \nCatland includes original photographs by Lee Chapman\, Giovanni Piliarvu\, and Rie Yamamoto. \n​Sarah Archer: Welcome! I’m an award-winning design and culture writer based in Philadelphia. My books The Midcentury Kitchen and Midcentury Christmas are available now from Countryman Press. My new book Catland: The Soft Power of Cat Culture in Japan is on shelves now. \nI’m a contributing editor at American Craft Magazine\, and write regularly for Hyperallergic\, The Atlantic\, Architectural Digest\, and The New Yorker online. My articles and reviews have appeared in Curbed\, Metropolis\, CityLab\, Slate\, The Washington Post\, The Magazine Antiques\, Modern Magazine\, The Journal of Modern Craft\, and Studio Potter. I was the 2017 Jentel Visiting Critic at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena\, Montana. I’ve contributed essays to exhibition catalogs for the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution\, the Peabody Essex Museum\, the Portland Art Museum\, the Milwaukee Museum of Art\, and the Museum of Arts and Design\, as well as to the anthologies Shows and Tales\, edited by Art Jewelry Forum\, and The Ceramic Reader from Bloomsbury Press.

SUMMARY:To Understand a Tree\, a work-in-process
DESCRIPTION:To Understand a Tree\, a work-in-process with Gina Siepel  | Thurs. July 30\, 2020 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm | LIVE on ZOOM\nRSVP \nWhat is the community of a tree? Are woodworkers part of it? What will happen if I\, as a woodworker\, place myself in a deeper relationship to the forest? \nInterdisciplinary artist and woodworker Gina Siepel discusses her ongoing work\, To Understand a Tree\, currently in process in the forest of western Massachusetts. To Understand a Tree is inspired by a desire to contemplate a living forest tree and its immediate habitat from the perspective of a woodworker\, directly engaging both the forest ecosystem and the furniture making process. In collaboration with naturalist Kate Wellspring and others\, Siepel is studying a single red oak tree\, integrating artistic and scientific methodologies. Forests are complex\, interconnected systems\, and in that spirit\, To Understand a Tree connects furniture and object making to questions of forest ecology\, climate change\, and resource extraction. \nImage above: Gina Siepel\, video still\, To Understand a Tree: Time\, 2020 \nGina Siepel \nGina Siepel is an interdisciplinary artist and woodworker based in Greenfield\, MA.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Roy Underhill
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Roy Underhill | Tues\, July 28\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 6:30 pm EDT\nRSVP \nJoin us for a talk with woodworking celebrity Roy Underhill! The talk will take place in his very own Woodwright School where Roy will share stories from his life and work\, including his experience hosting the hit PBS series The Woodwright’s Shop. Don’t miss this opportunity to spend an evening with a woodworking icon! \nRoy Underhill is an American woodworker and television show host. Born and raised in Washington\, D.C.\, he was the first master housewright at the Colonial Williamsburg reconstruction. Since 1979\, he has been the host of the PBS series The Woodwright’s Shop. Along with This Old House\, which debuted the same year\, it is the longest running PBS “how-to” show. \nUnderhill was introduced to traditional woodworking by a sister who worked at the Smithsonian Institution. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and earned a degree in Theater. In the early 1970s\, Roy and his wife moved to Colorado to form Homestead Arts\, an acting studio\, and then on to a remote area of New Mexico where traditional woodworking was one of the few means of survival. \nIn the late 1970s\, Roy moved back to North Carolina and studied at Duke University\, pursuing a multi-disciplinary course of study including engineering\, forestry\, and history; he was subsequently awarded a Master of Forestry in 1977. At the birth of his first daughter\, he approached the UNC Center for Public Television with an idea about a traditional woodworking show. Initially rejected\, the idea was finally accepted; in 1979\, filming began on The Woodwright’s Shop at West Point on the Eno in Durham\, NC. Around the same time\, he also took the job as master housewright and later director of interpretive development for Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. \nMore recently\, Roy also works as a communications consultant. He is the author of several books\, including The Woodwright’s Eclectic Workshop and Woodwright’s Shop: A Practical Guide to Traditional Woodcraft. In 2011 he gave a presentation at TEDx Raleigh\, sharing the value of ingenuity and living in the present. \nRoy has started teaching traditional woodworking in a classroom environment he calls “The Woodwright’s School”. As of January 2014\, his classroom is located in Pittsboro\, NC. \nMany hand-tool aficionados hold Roy Underhill in extremely high regard and may refer to him as “St. Roy.” \nImage caption: Roy Underhill with VanGogh Chair.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Erez Nevi Pana
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Erez Nevi Pana | Fri\, June 26\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 2:00 pm EDT\nRSVP \nErez Nevi Pana takes an investigative and human-centered approach to both raw and discarded materials\, excavating their properties and exposing and extracting the hidden\, often toxic or destructive\, byproducts of industrial manufacture. His egalitarian attitude toward materials and makers brings poetry to objects of uncanny beauty—pure collaborations between nature and culture\, otherworldly but borne of the earth. \nReclaimed wood is the underlying structure for his salt objects. Nevi Pana eschews glue\, sanding papers\, and most varnishes\, which are made from animal-based ingredients. Lathe-turned and bound\, the wooden scaffolds are subjected to some of the most unique phenomena of nature. \nIn this don’t-miss talk\, Nevi Pana will share insights into his work\, his thoughtful research into materials and processes\, and his seminal thinking in Vegan Design as a curative approach to human-caused natural devastation. \nImage above from the Bleached and Salts series.

Photo: Klaudia Rothkegel \nPortrait of Erez Nevi Pana by Klaudia Rothkegel. \nErez Nevi Pana (b. 1983) is an explorer who uses design as a significant tool to investigate phenomena through material experimentation. Nevi Pana earned his BA in design from the Holon Institute of Technology (Israel) and an MA from the Design Academy Eindhoven (The Netherlands) where his thesis focused on the recrystallization of salt. In 2015\, Nevi Pana formed La Terrasse in Eindhoven as a platform for designers\, artists\, writers\, and thinkers to work closely together\, share their thoughts on a central theme\, and realize their visions. The Design Museum Holon recently acquired two of Nevi Pana’s works\, which were developed from an organic material mixture of soil and fungi\, for their permanent collection in addition to three salt pieces from his solo exhibition at the museum. Nevi Pana practices research and design around the world as a doctoral student investigating the topic of vegan design. \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
