November 6\, 2020 | 2:55 – 3:40 PM ET | LIVE on ZOOM\nCraftNOW symposium 2020 Cultures of Making takes place 2:00–5:00 PM ET October 30th and November 6thTo register click here \nExploration\, Experimentation\, Collaboration: 25 Years of the Windgate International Residency ProgramA discussion with The Center for Art in Wood’s Artistic Director\, Jennifer-Navva Milliken \nPanelists:Max Brosi\, Ireland—Artist Fellow\, ITE 2017Stefano Catalani\, US—Scholar Fellow\, ITE 2010Vivian Chiu\, US—Artist Fellow\, ITE 2018Betty Scarpino\, US—Artist Fellow\, ITE 1999; Photojournalist Fellow\, ITE 2016 \nModerator:Jennifer-Navva Milliken\, Artistic Director of the Center for Art in Wood \nFounded in 1995\, the Windgate International Turning Exchange (ITE) is a uniquely collaborative arts residency program. 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. I have curated exhibitions at Urban Glass and Pratt Manhattan Gallery. Prior to moving to Philadelphia to become Senior Curator at the Philadelphia Art Alliance\, I was the Director of Greenwich House Pottery in New York City. \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.Donation \nFor questions contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org

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.

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

Von Rydingvard’s work has been featured in the Venice Biennale and is held in the collections of some of the world’s great museums\, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art\, the Art Institute of Chicago\, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. But she may be best-known for work in Public spaces – imposing pieces painstakingly crafted with complex surfaces. \nVon Rydingsvard and assistants preparing to work on Ene Due Rabe\, San Francisco\, 1990. \nVon Rydingsvard working on the patina of Uroda\, a monumental copper sculpture commissioned by Princeton University\, 2015. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIn this documentary\, we go behind the scenes with von Rydingsvard\, as she and her collaborators – cutters\, metalsmiths\, and others – produce new work\, including challenging commissions in copper and bronze. But the film also delves into the artist’s personal life\, and how it has shaped her work. Born in Poland during the Second World War\, she was partly raised in a displaced persons camp and came to the US as a refugee with her nine-person family. Her younger brother shares memories of being raised by their violent\, domineering father – a man whose influence von Rydingsvard continues to feel. Brought up in a blue-collar environment\, she became a teacher and then\, as a single mother\, moved to New York in the 1970s to take up her artistic practice full-time. \nIn conversations with curators\, patrons\, family\, and fellow artists\, we come to know von Rydingsvard as a driven but compassionate sculptor with a deep commitment to her art and the world around her. \nPlease also join us for the Into Her Own Panel Discussion on Thursday\, June 18\, 2020 at 6:30 with artists Ursula von Rydingsvard and Vivian Chiu and Daniel Traub\, the director of the film Ursula von Rydingsvard: Into Her Own moderated by Jennifer-Navva Milliken\, Artistic Director of the Center for Art in Wood. We’ll learn more about the monumental sculptures von Rydingsvard creates and the making of the film.

SUMMARY:Searching for Home in Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:Searching for Home in Philadelphia | Tues\, June 16\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 6:30 pm EDT\nRSVP \nJoin us for a panel discussion with Searching for Home artist Humaira Abid\, Dana Gold of Nationalities Service Center\, Anne Ishii of Asian Arts Initiative\, and Hazami Sayed of Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture. We’ll discuss the contributions made by immigrants to the Philadelphia’s rich culture\, and connect to the situation faced by immigrants and refugees during COVID-19 and how the pandemic made it easy to overlook the vulnerable and unprotected.\n\nPhoto of Humaira Abid by Amber Hammad \nHumaira Abid’s carved wood sculpture and paintings—known for their exquisite detail—depict human relationships\, societal repression\, and the consequences of keeping basic truths from being discussed and shared. The beauty and seductive virtuosity of her work offset her political\, ironic\, provocative\, and even scandalous objects and installations. \nHumaira Abid was born and raised in Lahore\, Pakistan. She immigrated to the United States in 2008 and now lives and works in Seattle\, WA. \nAbid received her BFA in sculpture and miniature painting from the National College of Arts\, Lahore\, in 2000. Her works have been exhibited in museums and galleries and documented in publications around the world and reviewed by local\, national\, and international news media. Abid is the recipient of numerous honors\, most recently the 2019 Artist Trust Arts Innovator Award. \nHer work has been published in books and other print media\, and she has been the recipient of prestigious awards and grants. She has lectured widely and participated in residencies and symposia around the world. Two documentary features focused on Abid and her work\, produced by the KCTS9 branch of PBS and Seattle Channel\, were both nominated for Northwest Emmy Awards. The artist is represented by Greg Kucera Gallery\, Seattle. \nDana Gold \nDana Gold is a Job Developer at Nationalities Service Center\, where she connects clients to jobs in the Philadelphia area to promote their economic autonomy and general self sufficiency. Specifically\, Dana helps refugee and immigrant clients research open positions\, submit applications\, prepare for interviews\, and learn professional standards in the US\, among other job readiness initiatives. Her job is focused on building partnerships with local employers in order to connect clients to great jobs in the Philadelphia region.\n\nDana is passionate about making complicated systems more accessible and transparent for all\, and this is shown through her breadth of experience teaching English both at NSC and abroad. She has also worked at college access programs in her native Oakland\, CA and in Philadelphia to help high school students navigate the college application process. She holds Bachelor’s degrees in Political Science and Spanish from Bryn Mawr College.\n  \nAnne Ishii \nAnne Ishii is the Executive Director of Asian Arts Initiative in Philadelphia. Her writings have appeared in multiple publications including Slate\, the Village Voice\, and Publishers Weekly. Her translation and editorial projects include the Eisner-award winning manga My Brother’s Husband by Gengoroh Tagame\, Batmanga!: the Secret History of Batman in Japan\, and Massive: Gay Japanese Manga and the Men Who Make It. She is co-founder of the publishing\, fashion\, and creative agency Massive Goods\, which represents queer and feminist artists from Japan. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nHazami Sayed \nHazami Sayed\, an Arab-American\, grew up in the Arab region and came to the U.S. to pursue higher education. She founded Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture with the launch of an Arabic language and cultural camp in 2002. Her interest stemmed from a desire to develop a creative and supportive environment where her young boys could learn the Arabic language and be immersed in the richness of Arab arts and culture while navigating their place in American society. Sayed has worked in the fields of architecture and urban development in Philadelphia and New York City. Her areas of interest and research were community development and affordable urban housing in which she worked at the UNDP\, several architecture firms\, and taught a seminar at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also a photographer and has exhibited her work in Philadelphia. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Stanford University and Master of Architecture from Columbia University.

SUMMARY:A View from Left Field with Mark Sfirri
DESCRIPTION:A View from Left Field with Mark Sfirri | Thurs\, June 11\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 6:30 pm EDT\nRSVP \nSummer just isn’t summer without baseball! Even though we can’t go to a game the Center is bringing an evening in the stands to you with artist Mark Sfirri. Sfirri will share his love of the game and how it’s influenced his work. Following the talk stay for a baseball-themed happy hour where we’ll share some of our favorite highlights. Get your game gear and your hot dogs and peanuts ready for this don’t miss virtual event! \nMark Sfirri received his BFA and MFA in furniture design at Rhode Island School of Design. He works mostly in wood and incorporates lathe-turned forms\, often turned on multiple axes\, in his work. He has lectured and demonstrated his techniques throughout North America and Europe\, as well as in Australia\, New Zealand. His work is included in the permanent collections of twenty-eight public institutions. \nSfirri is professor emeritus at Bucks County Community College in Pennsylvania where he ran the Fine Woodworking Program from 1981 to 2017. He has received two national awards: the “Distinguished Educator Award” in 2010 from the Renwick Alliance of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institutions and\, in 2012\, the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from the Collectors of Wood Art. \nInch Worm Bat \nIn 1993 his son Sam\, who was six at the time\, ran into Sfirri’s shop and asked him to make him a Little League bat that had a hollow in the end of it. Sfirri was very busy with a furniture commission and tried to get out of it. Sam’s request turned into demand when he said “Dad….. you have the wood and you have a lathe……make me a bat!”   When he put it that way\, priorities seemed so clear and Mark\, of course\, obliged. It didn’t take that long and Sam went away happy. Mark thought that it might be interesting to isolate multi-axis turning details that he was experimenting with at that time and incorporate them on this common object which would serve as a blank canvas. He named this series “Rejects From the Bat Factory”.   Its intention was to capture some obvious humor\, but it was also a statement about our culture and how we sometimes prize the mistakes more than the “good ones”. Other times the opposite is true. Over the years\, he’s revisited this series with changes in species used and some of the designs. Although he’s done a wide variety of work over his career\, this seems to be his most signature work. \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

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Dania Chelminsky
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Ran Erde\nArtist Talk with Dania Chelminsky | Thurs\, May 28\, 2020 | Live on ZOOM at 12:30 pm EDT\nRSVP \nJoin us for a lunch break with contemporary jewelry artist Dania Chelminsky. Dania will talk about her childhood immigration to Israel from Mexico City and how this experience turned her focus to the body and the material of wood as she pursued a career in metalsmithing. \nPhoto by the artist. \nDania Chelminsky was born in Mexico City in 1961 and has lived in Israel since 1970. She studied sciences\, metalworking\, design for the performing arts; in 2018\, she received her MA in Integrated Design at the Holon Institute of Technology. From 1988 to 2000\, she designed jewelry at her own studio and shop in Tel Aviv. After that\, she moved to a studio and started to investigate conceptual directions in the creation of jewelry. \nIn her work\, she combines contrasting materials\, mixing organic with synthetic\, hard with soft\, and crafted with found objects. Intrigued by the points at which these materials intersect\, Chelminsky uses traditional metalsmithing techniques to emphasize moments of tension. Her juxtaposition of such disparate elements allows her to tell a story with each of her pieces\, inspiring a moment of thought about the way we relate to the world that surrounds us. \nHer works have been profiled in international publications such as Metalsmith\, Portfolio\, Domus\, and Lark Books. She has exhibited her work extensively throughout the world\, with multiple solo exhibitions presented at Periscope Gallery\, Tel Aviv\, as well as at Museo Lazaro Galdiano\, Madrid. She has also participated in many group exhibitions\, including the Tel Aviv Biennial\, Eretz Israel Museum\, Tel Aviv; Alliages Gallery\, SHMUCK\, Munich\, and the Alliages collection\, Museum Espace Solidor\, Cagnes-sur-Mer\, France; the Islamic Art Museum\, Jerusalem; the Benaki Museum\,  Athens\, Greece; and Benedikt Aichele Atellier\, Paris\, France. \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\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org
