SUMMARY:2018 Bob Stocksdale Award: Ben Strear
DESCRIPTION:The 2018 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award: Ben Strear | Sun\, April 14\, 2019 | 2 – 4 pm | Lecture and reception at Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\, New Castle County\, DE\nRegistration is required to attend.\nTo RSVP click HERE. \nPlease join us as we commemorate the 2018 Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award with a lecture and reception at the Rotunda of the renowned Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library. The 2018 recipient for the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award is Ben Strear of Grand Rapids\, Michigan. \nSupported by an anonymous donor and now in its third year\, the Bob Stocksdale International Excellence in Wood Award presents a grant of $1\,000 to an emerging or mid-career artist whose work\, like Stocksdale’s\, unites quality of craftsmanship and respect for materials. Recognizing the 2018 Stocksdale Award will be Trent Rhodes\, a Lois F. McNeil Fellow and recent graduate of the Winterthur Program in American Culture\, with a lecture on Strear and Stocksdale (1913–2003)\, a renowned master woodturner. Rhodes will discuss Strear’s work in context of the values reflected in Stocksdale’s legacy\, among them quality of craftsmanship\, respect for materials\, and artistic innovation. \nStrear creates sculpted wooden vessels that serve as canvasses for his meticulously hand-carved\, rhythmic patterns\, many of which are inspired by ancient structures and artifacts. His work is held by prominent private collections\, and he is the recipient of a number of awards\, including The Smithsonian Craft Show and the Cheongju International Craft Competition in South Korea. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Ben Strear\, Bleached Stele\, 2018\, bass wood\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nImage captions\, left to right: Ben Strear\, Bleached Stele\, bass wood\, 8 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ x 22″; Stele With Smoke and Flame Pattern\, bass wood\, milk paint\, lacquer\, 8 1/8″ x 17 3/4″ x 20 1/2; Vase with Serpentine Pattern\, bass wood\, 4″ diam. x 8 1/2″\nAbove left: Ben Strear\, Cylindrical Seal\, 2017\, bass wood\, turned and carved with non-repeating pattern and striated; milk paint\, wax\, Diam. 5.5 in. x 14.5 in.\nBen Strear\nOriginally from Colorado\, Ben Strear attended the Rhode Island School of Design where he received a BFA in Furniture Design. After graduating in 2006\, he was awarded the Robyn and John Horn Woodturning Fellowship at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts. In 2007 Ben moved to New York City where he found success both fabricating and managing the production of projects for high profile architects and artists. It was also during this time that Ben defined a formal language for his own sculptural woodwork. In 2016 Ben began to focus on creating sculptures full time. Ben and his family currently reside in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. \nARTIST’S STATEMENT\nMy process and materials are simple: I sculpt and carve wood. While wood by itself is very beautiful\, it’s transformative qualities are what I enjoy the most. I utilize both shallow relief and chip carving to achieve the woven\, repetitive patterns that adorn my work. I rely on monochromatic color schemes to highlight the patterning\, rather than the color of the material itself. On some of my work\, I further graphic depth by incising or burning a secondary pattern over a sculpture’s topographic surface. \nWhile the foundation for my art is largely technically driven\, I tend to look towards antiquities and fossils for added inspiration. I search for objects that possess finite detail expertly transposed over beautiful forms\, either through natural means or by human hands. When pattern and form are combined in the right way\, I end up with sculptures that have an air of mystery and impossibility. I wish to instill my work with an inherent sense of history\, challenging the viewer to determine if my work was made as a ceremonial gift for an ancient ruler\, or perhaps petrified fruits yielded by an ancient\, primordial garden. \nTo learn more about Ben Strear click HERE. \nImage caption: Ben Strear\, Eroded Cylindrical Seal\, bass wood\, milk paint\, laquer\, 5″ x 15″.\n\nTrent Rhodes\nTrent Rhodes is a Grants Associate at the Brandywine River Museum of Art and a recent graduate of the Winterthur Program in Material Culture\, where he completed his thesis on Southern antique collectors and dealers. During his time at Winterthur\, Trent served as a visiting fellow at the Center for Art in Wood\, where he and a classmate worked with the director to begin reinstalling the permanent collection. Prior to graduate school\, he worked at the Minnesota Historical Society as a Research Assistant for an exhibition on suburbia. Trent has held internships at the American Craft Council and the Goldstein Museum of Design. He graduated from Carleton College in Northfield\, Minnesota\, with a Bachelor’s degree in Art History. \n\nBob Stocksdale\n\nImage: Paul J.

SUMMARY:Gord Peteran: Unlocking the Identity of Things
DESCRIPTION:Gord Peteran: Unlocking the Identity of Things | March 27 – 30th\, 2019 | Presented by the University of the Arts and The Center for Art in Wood\nJoin us for a series of events\, lectures and workshops with Toronto artist Gord Peteran presented by the University of the Arts (UArts) and The Center for Art in Wood\, March 27 – 30\, 2019. \n\nWednesday\, March 27\, 2019 | 6pm\nArtists’ Challenge lecture\nUArts\, Hamilton Hall\n320 S. Broad Street\, Philadelphia\nFREE \n\nFriday\, March 29\, 2019 | 9am – 5pm\nMaster Class\nUArts\, Anderson Hall\n333 S. Broad Street\, Philadelphia\nMember $150 Click HERE |  Non-Member $200 Click HERE\nSave on this and future workshops by becoming a member. \nPulling Chairs\nWhich objects sustain and why? \nThere is absolutely no difference between sculpture and furniture. All of the neuroses explored in contemporary sculpture are also hidden under the upholstery of furniture. This hypothesis comes from two observations; the body’s many perceived insecurities AND the neurotic need of the objects we presently call furniture. \nIn this workshop\, participants will be asked to find a wrecked or dysfunctional piece of furniture from the garbage or from home. In the course of the workshop\, each participant will “RESTORE” their object…pulling it through time toward a present pertinence. \n\nSaturday\, March 30\, 2019 | 2 – 4pm\nCommunity Gallery Talk\nThe Center for Art in Wood\n141 N. 3rd Street\, Philadelphia\, PA 19106\nFREE \nUnlocked? \nFocusing on the push/pull of the previous days’ workshops\, participants and the public at large are invited to gather at The Center for Art in Wood for a closing pop-up display of the works and ideas generated in the workshops. A discussion around what we learned and the relevance of the work to the exhibition at the Center. \n\nFor more information\, please contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org or 215-923-8000 ext. 103. \n

SUMMARY:Young Artist Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Young Artist Speaker Series | Artist Colin Pezzano | Wed\, March 6\, 2019 | 6 – 8 pm | The Center for Art in Wood\nThe Center for Art in Wood is proud to present the Young Artist Speaker Series. Each semester a young artist is asked to share their work and speak about the transition from academia to an independent artist. The first in the series will feature artist Colin Pezzano taking place on Wednesday\, March 6\, 2019\, from 6 – 8 pm. \nColin Pezzano is a woodworker based out of Philadelphia\, PA.  Pezzano projects his unique sensibility onto the possibilities of furniture and uses this to offset the domestic environment with pathos and humor. His work is an honest self-searching\, channeling childhood experience and memory to bring beauty to the mundane\, shaping into an object the awkward fumbling form of youth and naivety. The result is something truly unique\, and surprisingly moving; considering the stark\, often minimal approach he takes in design. In these pieces\, in his take on everyday objects\, Pezzano strives to convey a long-lost sense of awe and wonder\,  a chance for a moment to regain a bit of our inner child\, our absent innocence.   He pushes himself in self-discovery\, and in that finds a piece of himself; a piece of all of us. \nColin graduated from University of The Arts in 2014. Upon graduation\, he received the Windgate Fellowship.  After Graduation\, Pezzano was featured in Craft Forms (2014) and was interviewed in an article with American Craft. In the Spring of 2015\, Pezzano had his first Solo show “Contain You”  at Bridgette Mayer Gallery. Since then\, Pezzano has appeared in several shows and galleries including The Smithsonian Craft Show (2016). Following the Smithsonian Craft show\, Colin was inspired to develop a small production line of furniture and objects\, collaborating with other craft artists. In 2018\, Colin had his second Solo show “Still Life with Dead Game”. Pezzano maintains his practice in Philadelphia out of his basement studio and currently is working at the University of Pennsylvania. \nThis event is free to the public.

SUMMARY:Readings from The Head and the Hand's Publications
DESCRIPTION:Readings from The Head and the Hand’s Publications | The Center for Art in Wood | Fri\, March 1\, 2019 | 5 – 8 pm\nJoin us in celebration of our current exhibition Pennsylvania Made with readings by local writers from The Head and the Hand’s recent publications. Readings will take place during the course of First Friday evening in conjunction with Object Lesson a First Friday speaker series. While here at the Center we invite guests to explore the exhibition\, Museum Collection and shop for unique items in our Museum Store. \nReaders: Norman Cain\, Sarah Grey\, Briyanna Hymms\, Lauren Lowe \nDebates\, Defenses\, and Dreams by Norman Cain\nNorman Cain was born in 1942 and raised on Olive Street in West Philadelphia. He graduated in 1964 from Bluefield State College in West Virginia where he majored in social science and minored in English. A retired social worker\, teacher\, father of five and grandfather of seven\, he is active in several writing groups\, including the Best Day of My Life So Far at the Philadelphia Senior Center. His work can be read in several volumes of the Drexel Writers Room’s Anthology series\, Milestones\, The Best Day of My Life So Far\, and in numerous online and local publications. \nSalvaging the Dormant: On Language by Sarah Grey\nSarah Grey is a freelance writer based in Philadelphia. Her work on topics including politics\, language\, food\, and labor has appeared in Best Food Writing 2015\, Jacobin\, Bitch\, Saveur\, International Socialist Review\, Monthly Review\, Lucky Peach\, and more. She edits and indexes academic\, activist\, and creative nonfiction (with a specialty in Marxism) for publishers and individuals under the name Grey Editing (greyediting.com) and was awarded the American Copy Editors Society’s 2016 Robinson Prize for Excellence in Copy Editing. \nTime Stamps by Briyanna Hymms\nBriyanna Hymms majored in biology (BS ’18) and minored in writing at Drexel University. She is an active member of Drexel’s Writers Room\, where you can find pieces of her poetry\, creative nonfiction writing\, and art. In her free time\, she takes care of her garden and spends time with her loved ones. Her story is woven with strands of inspiration from friends and family\, helping to form the tapestry of her life. \nSome Old Houses by Lauren Lowe\nLauren Lowe is a Drexel alum (BA English\, ’17). During the 2017-2018 academic year\, she served as an Artist Year fellow and taught creative writing at Paul Robeson High School in West Philadelphia. She is a regular member of Drexel Writers Room and a fervent Sixers fan—both have taught her how to trust the process. \nThe Head & The Hand is a nonprofit\, independent craft publishing company and writers’ workshop based in Philadelphia.\nWe call it “craft” because we consider writers to be artisans\, much like a carpenter or a farmer. And just as a farmer is connected to the crop from the seed to the harvest\, we think that a writer should be connected to the process of crafting a book\, from manuscript submission to the shelf. \nWith business practices influenced by the work ethic of artisans\, we strive to work with authors\, both aspiring and established\, whose work is not confined to a specific style or mindset. Our main goal is to produce writing that shows a connection from the head to the hand by publishing stories that have the power to change and entertain. \nAnd with our Writers’ Workshop\, we are also doing everything we can to help maintain the long legacy of book publishing in Philadelphia\, while also making our own unique contribution to the city’s burgeoning literary community. \nFor more information about The Head and the Hand click HERE. \nFor questions please contact Katie Sorenson\, Community Engagement Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Introduction to Color on Wood with Alan Adler
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Color\nWho: Artist Alan Adler\nWhat: An Introduction to Color on Wood\nWhen: Saturday\, December 1\, 2018 | 2 – 4:30 pm\nWhere: The Center for Art in Wood | 141 N 3rd Street | Philadelphia\nSkill Level: All Levels\nCost: $35 Members  | $45 Non-Members\nSave on this and future workshops by becoming a member.\n \nJoin us for an afternoon exploring the use of color on wood with artist Alan Adler. This workshop is offered in conjunction with the exhibition Merryll Saylan: This is Your Life; a timeline of her work. Saylan is known for her pioneering use of color and Adler will walk you through various coloration options such as milk paint\, iron paint\, and dyes. Participants will each make a group of swatches that they will take away for their next project. \nAlan Adler first became interested in design when he studied for his MFA at Pratt Institute in New York. Adler took up woodturning in 2009 and has since received awards at regional competitions and international recognition from peers in “The World of Wood Turners.” Adler is also the founder of Source Packaging and Cases by Source\, producing custom packaging for industry clientele. \n From Alan: “For many years I was searching for a material and process to reconnect with my design roots and personal creative expression.  Always drawn to wood and furniture building\, I discovered turning. Nothing measures up to the excitement and discovery of peeling away layers of wood and exposing hidden treasures in grain\, texture\, and color. \nI have been fortunate to have met\, studied and received advice and encouragement from many of the leading artists in this medium. This has inspired me to experiment beyond my comfort zone with color\, carving\, and techniques borrowed from other art forms. \nMajor influences in my work come from studying art history and twentieth-century masters. Observing simple and elegant forms\, textures and patterns and viewing nature have inspired organic relevance that can all be seen throughout my work.” \nThe Center for Art in Wood is a non-profit arts organization located in Philadelphia who nurtures and promotes the innovation of art in wood through collaborative residencies\, exhibitions\, education\, and documentation.  The Center also maintains an inspirational collection and a research library to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the art. \nCancelation Policy\nCancelations of a workshop must be made by email.  The Center can offer a full refund if notice is given 15 days prior to the workshop. Refunds will not be given after that date. \nThe Center for Art in Wood reserves the right to cancel a workshop due to severe weather or unforeseen circumstances. Participants will be notified in advance and offered a full refund. \nFor questions contact Katie Sorenson\, Development and Events Manager at katie@museumforartinwood.org or 215-923-8000 ext 103.

SUMMARY:Merryll Saylan: This is Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Merryll Saylan: This is Your Life\nCurated by Glenn Adamson\nNovember 2\, 2018 – January 19\, 2019\nVisit the online gallery here. \nThe Center for Art in Wood is pleased to present the work of renowned wood artist Merryll Saylan in an exhibition celebrating the timeline of her career. When she began turning in the 1970s\, Saylan was one of few women in the craft field. While her contemporaries gravitated toward furniture-making and the use of exotic woods\, Saylan—who came from a background in modern and contemporary design—focused on surface\, using wood as a blank canvas for compositions in color and texture. Her experiments with stains\, pigments\, texture\, and auto body finishes represented a new approach in the field\, with connections to abstract painting. \nGuest Curator Glenn Adamson writes that Saylan’s work draws “sometimes humorously\, sometimes poignantly—from the world of everyday things….her objects dwell right in that interesting space between unremarkable normalcy and aesthetic transcendence\, which we all inhabit all the time.” \n \nEVENTS\nCraftNOW Symposium | Nov 2 | 11 AM – 7 PM | University of the Arts Gershman Hall\, 401 S. Broad St. Free and open to the public. Lecture by Merryll Saylan and Glenn Adamson at 1 PM \nFirst Fridays | Nov 2\, Dec 9\, Jan 4 | 5 – 8 PM. Opening reception on Nov 2 | 6 – 8 PM \nGallery talk with Merryll Saylan and Artistic Director Jennifer-Navva Milliken | Nov 3 | 2 – 4 PM \nWorkshop with Alan Adler\, An Introduction to Color on Wood | Sat\, Dec 1 | 2 – 4:30 PM at the Center\n*Registration opening soon. \nWorkshop with Merryll Saylan\, Woodturning and Surface Treatment | Jan 17 & 18 | 10 AM – 4 PM each day | Dovetail Wood Arts at MaKen North\, 3525 I Street\, Philadelphia\n*Registration opening soon. \nClosing event and gallery talk with viewing of finished pieces from the workshop | Sat\, Jan 19 | 2 – 4 PM at the Center \n  \nTo RSVP for the workshops and for more information please contact Katie Sorenson\, at 215-923-8000 or katie@museumforartinwood.org.

SUMMARY:Love Stories: Adapted and Performed by Denise McCormack
DESCRIPTION:Love Stories | Master Storyteller Denise McCormack | Sept 13\, 2018 | 7 – 8 pm | At The Center for Art in Wood | Fringe Festival\nMaster storyteller Denise McCormack brings to life literary and traditional tales to capture the essence of women’s issues and issues of the heart. This one-woman stand-up sparks a flood of emotions and memories\, as it revisits secret and soulful nuances of motherhood\, childhood\, family\, and life—the dynamics of love. Intended for adults. \nPay What You Wish / 60 minutes\nFor tickets click HERE. \nJoin Master Storyteller Denise McCormack for her one-woman show Love Stories\, carefully crafted tales that explore the human condition through the power of story. Each vignette highlights the dynamic nature of relationships and reflects the emotional turmoil that is interwoven in the choices and circumstances of our being\, especially those related to women’s issues\, of motherhood and family. These are not romantic stories; they are stories of our deepest natures and souls. They are stories that connect us and allow us to see into one anothers’ lives for understanding and empathy\, for validation.” McCormack’s soulful performance of Love Stories premiered during Philly Theatre Week to rave reviews and has since been featured at various local and national venues.
