SUMMARY:Live Performance and Book Release of Soma
DESCRIPTION:Live Performance and Book Release of Soma | Fri. Oct 14\, 2022 | 6:00 – 7:30 pm | In-person\nClick HERE to RSVP \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a live performance and book release with artist Colin Pezzano for his most recent project Soma. Soma is a graphic novel told in 45 woodcuts carved during the winter of 2022. A “mundane horror\,” the narrative investigates lived and imagined experience\, corporality\, and the passage of time. During the evening\, Colin Pezzano and Sam Gasparre will be performing a live score of the Soma\, which was animated by Ricky Christian. \n\n\n\n\nColin Pezzano is a woodworker and craft artist based in South Philadelphia. His practice is defined by utilizing digital and hand processes to pass along humor\, pathos\, and memory into his chosen materials. Colin graduated from the University of the Arts in 2014 with a BFA in Crafts and shortly after received the Windgate Fellowship Award. In 2022\, he received the Windgate-Lamar Fellowship Award\, given to awardees who have continued to evolve their practice post-graduation. Colin has had two solo shows\, “Contain You” and “Still Life With Dead Game\,” at Bridgette Mayer Gallery and Allens Lane Art Center\, respectfully\, and is currently exhibiting work in The Wharton Esherick Museum’s “Home as Stage” to celebrate the Museum’s 50th anniversary. This installation coincides with the release of Colin’s book\, Soma\, a graphic novel in woodcuts. During his career\, Pezzano has participated in group shows\, juried exhibitions and attended residencies in the USA and Sweden. He maintains his practice in his basement studio. \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 Mashrabiya Project - Seeing Through Space Artist Talk: Hoda Tawakol
DESCRIPTION:The Mashrabiya Project – Seeing Through Space Artist Talk: Hoda Tawakol | Thurs. Oct. 13\, 2022 | 11 am – 12 pm EDT | LIVE on ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP \nThe Center for Art in Wood is proud to present a series of free virtual lectures with artists featured in the upcoming exhibition Seeing Through Space\, opening March 3\, 2023\, and running through July 23\, 2023. This series is meant to connect the public with the artists and engage in thoughtful discussions about mashrabiya in the context of architecture\, art\, craft\, and community. Our inaugural lecture will feature Hamburg-based artist Hoda Tawakol. \nHoda Tawakol’s practice is built on the twin pillars of wit and criticality. Her colorful\, engaging textile works—collages\, sculptures\, installations—ripple with vitality\, while tackling compelling issues of gender and bodily control. At once captivating and disarming\, the works spring from a range of media\, yet focus largely on the female body\, its distortions and transformations across a woman’s lifecycle. The artist’s hallmark fabric sculptures of date palm trees\, while stemming from the plant realm\, wittily probe bodily questions of gender fluidity. This is a universe of transformation: the body forever hovers between physical and ethereal\, reality and abstraction\, presence and absence. \nTawakol herself is culturally liminal. Egypt-born\, raised in France and Germany by an interchanging trio of ‘mothers\,’ she not only navigates an ‘in-between’ that percolates through her identity\, she layers this suspension into her practice. Her works are spirited—boisterous\, wall-filling textile collages\, rambunctious fabric installations\, and plump sculptures that revel in the uncanny. Yet wrapped within these vigorous creations lie deeper questions around biopower\, control\, and corporal manipulation. \nTawakol’s practice vibrates with feminist energy. While her hand-dyed and intimately sewn textile pieces clearly signpost questions of women’s labor\, she also interrogates the wider yet more insidious forces (social\, biological\, cultural) impacting the female body. Sculptural gestures of abstraction and manipulation probe gender restrictions; superposed grids and lattices conjure sensations of confinement\, concealment\, repression; allusions to ancient rituals and embodied practices fathom death and procreation. \nWhile her artistic stance is precise—stay vivacious yet critical\, vaguely salacious yet deeply earnest—her material mastery is vast. A diversity of unpredictable hand-dyeing techniques—batik\, spotting\, painting\, tie-dye—vivify her textile work. Similarly\, her watercolour and ink compositions on paper are the fruit of a teetering negotiation with chance\, and a surprising relinquishing of control. Her sculptures\, whether assertively figurative or cryptically morphed\, enlist a variety of materials with which she consistently experiments. \nHoda Tawakol’s work has been exhibited in numerous institutions and galleries in Germany\, including  Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt\, Weserburg Museum of Modern Art in Bremen\, Religio Westfälisches Museum für religiöse Kultur in Telgte\, Kunstverein in Hamburg\, Kunsthaus in Hamburg\, and Produzentengalerie in Hamburg and Berlin. Internationally\, she has shown at Sfeir-Semler gallery in Germany and Lebanon\, Beton Art Space in Denmark\, and at 10th Velada Santa Lucía in Venezuela. \nHer work appears in the following collections: The Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation (SHF)\, Abu Dhabi; The Progressive Art Collection\, USA; Huma Kabakci Collection\, Turkey\, UK; Sammlung Haus N\, Germany; Weserburg Museum Collection\, Germany\, among others. \nTop image: Hoda Tawakol\, Mashrabiya #5\, from the “Idolatry” series\, 2017.

SUMMARY:Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program Panel Discussion | Mon. Oct 3\, 2022 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm | LIVE on ZOOM\nCLICK HERE TO RSVP \n  \nJoin us for a panel discussion with the 2022 Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program moderated by 2019 residency alumni John-Dune Kingsley on Monday\, October 3rd. We’ll learn about their experiences\, collaborations\, and breakthroughs during the residency. Don’t miss this special event. \n  \nKailee Bosch\, Student Artist\nKailee Bosch is from Fort Collins\, Colorado. She obtained a BFA in Sculpture and Pottery from Colorado State University in 2020. Her practice stems from a background in woodturning\, growing up in her father’s shop making small objects on the lathe. Currently Kailee primarily works with wood and bronze\, blending traditional craft practices with digital fabrication and making both functional objects and speculative designs. \n  \n  \nKatie Hudnall\, Visual Documentarian and Artist\nKatie Hudnall builds other-worldly\, interactive furnitural objects that behave in expected and unexpected ways.  She received an MFA in woodworking/furniture design from Virginia Commonwealth University and a BFA in Sculpture from the Corcoran College of Art in Washington\, DC.  She lives and works in Madison\, WI\, where she runs the Wood & Furniture program at the University of Madison\, Wisconsin. Hudnall joined the residency program as an artist in 2016 and is looking forward to returning this summer as the group’s Visual Documentarian.  She is looking forward to sharing the residents’ experience through the blog posts\, as well as through sketchbook drawings and small cabinets that will contain some of the “artifacts” from this year’s adventures and cohort. \n  \n  \nJames Maurelle\, Artist\nJames Maurelle is an interdisciplinary artist\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, and sound art are his analog and digital primes. His work investigates the correlation formed between labor and creativity; at the center of this byway is the spirit of his work. Constructing objects and moving images are not unlike creating music compositions: the accompaniment\, i.e.\, tools and materials\, are a call and response to dexterity. The rubric to complete any composition is to know one’s instrument(s)/tools; the creative process is based on this reciprocal understanding. His work has shown in solo and group exhibitions in New York\, Minneapolis-Saint Paul\, Austin\, Philadelphia\, New Orleans\, Richmond\, Cincinnati\, and San Francisco. He is a recipient of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture Fellowship (2015). \n  \nJanice Smith\, Artist\nFor 40 years\, Janice has been designing and building unique wood furniture. Her interest in furniture began when “Shop for Girls”\nwas offered for the first time in high school. She still love turning ideas into reality. She especially enjoys creating a sense of movement in her designs and playing with balance and asymmetry. \n  \n  \nChris Storb\, Artist\nChris has worked professionally in the historic furniture field for over 40 years. His expertise is in the history of woodworking techniques\, processes\, and materials\, coupled with the ability to share that expertise in a meaningful way with the public. Chris worked in the conservation department of the Philadelphia Museum of Art since 2003 where he collaborated on the conservation of a broad range of American furniture in the Museum’s collection. Most recently he worked for the Dietrich American Foundation at the Philadelphia Museum of Art performing an examination\, assessment\, and treatment of over 150 wood objects in the Foundation’s collection. He has published and lectured widely on historic furniture\, woodcarving\, and the history of woodworking and continues to write for his blog “In Proportion to the Trouble.” \n  \nD Wood\, Scholar\nD Wood designed and made furniture to earn a Diploma in Crafts and Design at Sheridan College in Canada and an MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her PhD from the University of Otago was about craft and studio furniture in New Zealand. She is the editor of and a contributor to Craft is Political (Bloomsbury 2021). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJohn-Duane Kingsley\, 2019 Scholar and Panel Moderator\nJohn-Duane Kingsley is a divergent thinker whose professional work and interests straddle LGBTQIA+ identity and representation within museums\, historic interiors\, contemporary craft/design\, and public education. Because these topics aren’t contained by a specific institution or discipline\, Kingsley created the DANDYCRAFT website to serve as a publicly accessible repository of his work. \nAfter pursuing an MA in Decorative Arts & Design History from George Washington University\, Kingsley moved to Detroit\, Michigan\, to supervise the design of custom reproduction furniture and decorative arts for the restoration of Fair Lane: The Home of Clara & Henry Ford. His consulting work for Twisted Preservation Cultural Consulting focuses on interpreting LGBTQIA+ narratives in cultural heritage sites. Kingsley is a published author writing on contemporary craft and design\, can be found in MetalSmith Magazine\, The Journal of Modern Craft\, and exhibit catalog for allTURNatives at the Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia\, PA\, and as a contributing writer for the Decorative Arts Trust Bulletin. \n  \nThe Windgate Wood Arts Residency Program is a collegial experience in which the resident Fellows explore new work through research\, exploration\, and collaboration. The Center for Art in Wood awards prestigious fellowships for the annual residency program\, selecting from an international pool of applicants. Fellowships consist of five artists\, a visual documentarian\, a scholar/educator/writer\, and a student artist. Fellows work either solely in wood or in other materials in meaningful combination with wood. Applicants must exhibit proficiency in woodworking techniques in order to be eligible.

SUMMARY:Bandsaw Box Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Bandsaw Box Workshop | 9 am – 4 pm | Glen Foerd 5001 Grant Ave\, Philadelphia\, PA 19114\nRSVP Member\nRSVP Non-Member \nNot a member? Become one by clicking HERE \n*Registration for this workshop closes September 23\, 2022 \n\n\n\nBandsaw boxes are fun and verstile projects that push the boundaries and constraints of typical box making. A perfect project for novices and experienced woodworkers alike\, they are made from a single block of wood. Various forms and textures can be explored just by using the bandsaw and few other machines and hand tools. \nIn this one day workshop\, participants will learn safe practices in the studio while creating their own unique box. During the morning session\, participants will design\, cut\, and assemble the pieces for their box. The afternoon session will focus on sanding\, texturing\, paints\, and finishes. \nTara Bellofatto is a Craft + Material Studies/Woodworking graduate of the University of the Arts. Her design style is eclectic\, inspired by various artistic movements and pop culture references. Formerly a lecturer and studio technician at the university\, she currently practices out of her home studio in Southern New Jersey. \n\n  \n  \n  \nABOUT GLEN FOERD\nGlen Foerd\, listed on the National Register of Historic Places\, is located on 18 acres at the confluence of the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River. It is the only remaining riverfront estate in Philadelphia open to the public. The estate was saved from demolition by a coalition of dedicated neighbors in the immediate community. They formed the non-profit Glen Foerd Conservation Corporation to manage and operate the estate\, which is leased from Philadelphia Parks and Recreation. Glen Foerd stewards an eclectic riverfront estate for the enjoyment and educational benefit of the community. Drawing from the estate’s architecture\, art\, material culture\, and history – as well as its gardens and waterways – Glen Foerd provides inclusive experiences that spark curiosity and support Philadelphia’s natural and cultural ecosystems. The estate grounds are free to the public and open every day from dawn to dusk. \nABOUT THE CENTER FOR ART IN WOOD\nThe Center for Art in Wood is a museum of contemporary art\, craft\, and design in the material of wood. The Center presents the work of emerging and established artists from the United States and abroad and offers thought-provoking exhibitions\, a permanent collection of over 1\,100 objects and works of art\, publications and documentation\, events and workshops\, and a library with over 26\,000 artist files\, books\, and documents that span the history of craft.

SUMMARY:How it Started and How it’s Going: Collector talk with Randy Pi
DESCRIPTION:How it Started and How it’s Going: Collector talk with Randy Pi | Wed. Sept 14\, 2022 | 6:30 pm EDT | 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 next talk features collector and ER physician Randy Pi. \nPortrait of Randy Pi with some of his collection. \nRandy Pi: I’m an ER physician by night and a world traveler\, music lover\, and\, as my friends say\, patron of the arts by day.  I am so uplifted by incredible sights and sounds on my global jaunts.  Human artistic and architectural achievements as well as scenes of natural grandeur fill me with awe and humility. They inspire me to stay motivated and resilient in my demanding line of work. The tallest tree in the world is right here in my home state of California. The widest tree in the world is located in not-too-far Oaxaca\, Mexico where local artisans produce some of the world’s most exquisite woodworks. I can’t bring any giant trees home. I can’t bring any timber-constructed ancient castles from around the world home.  But I can bring music from different cultures home.  And by golly I can bring contemporary sculptures\, turned wood art and designs\, studio furniture\,  and traditional crafts home.  Living with wood art is a continuous source of joy and inspiration.When one thinks of music and wood\, the violin comes to mind. But for the home\, there is another important connection\, namely the stereo speakers. The illusion of live music playing at home can only be created by stereo speakers of sufficient size and volume. The vast majority of these speakers are wood constructions. And so at the confluence of engineering\, design\, and ethereal music lie the first wood sculptures at my home—stereo speakers. Looking back\, that’s where the story of my wood collection began. Hope you’ll join me as this story unfolds. It shall be one filled with lyrical and creative souls I’ve met along the way. \nDon’t miss this special glimpse into a collection! \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:Queering Wood Craft: An LGBTQIA+ Woodworkers Roundtable Part 5
DESCRIPTION:Queering Wood Craft: An LGBTQIA+ Woodworkers Roundtable Part 5 | Sat. Sept 10\, 2022 | 1:00 pm ET | LIVE on ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP \nThe Center for Art in Wood launched a series of conversations with queer woodworkers. Independent scholar and curator John-Duane Kingsley will lead this edition of the roundtable discussion with leading queer woodworkers and artists in wood\, sharing the ways their lived experience impacts their craft\, process\, and aesthetic. Join us for an enlightening and fun afternoon. \nJohn-Duane Kingsley is a divergent thinker whose professional work and interests straddle LGBTQIA+ identity and representation within museums\, historic interiors\, contemporary craft/design\, and public education.

His consulting work for Twisted Preservation Cultural Consulting focuses on interpreting LGBTQIA+ narratives in cultural heritage sites. Kingsley is a published author writing on contemporary craft and design\, can be found in MetalSmith Magazine\, The Journal of Modern Craft\, and exhibit catalog for allTURNatives at the Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia\, PA\, and as a contributing writer for the Decorative Arts Trust Bulletin. \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 Decency Project – Craft and Labor as Communal Conduit with Scott Braun
DESCRIPTION:The Decency Project – Craft and Labor as Communal Conduit with Scott Braun | Wed. July 27\, 2022 | 6:30 pm EDT | Live on ZOOM\nTo RSVP\, click HERE \nJoin us for a talk with Scott Braun on the Decency Project. The Decency Project ranges from intimate dialog to group conversation to performative demonstrations and sometimes even collaborative performance. In all cases\, finding connection and community through craft and labor is at the core. What does it mean to be human? If I am human\, what does that mean I should do\, and not do? How do we define decency and shame? Come join us for this discussion and find answers together. At least more questions. Or maybe just a way to feed each other. \nThe image above is Scott Braun demonstrating spoon carving. \nScott Braun is a visual artist\, educator\, and socio-political activist whose interactive performances\, sculptures\, and installations engage participants in an exploration of self in the context of society. He has been artist-in-residence at Anderson Ranch in Colorado and Haystack in Maine\, and his work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at the Queens Museum\, Sideshow Gallery\, The Rosenthal Library\, Benton/Nyce Gallery\, Pei-Ling Chen Sculpture Garden at Savannah College of Art and Design\, Rye Arts Center gallery\, and the American University Museum. \nHis current endeavor\, “The Decency Project\,” draws upon his extensive background in woodworking and social practice\, using craft and labor as a conduit for creating community. The project has traveled from Richmond\, VA to Washington\, DC\, and New York\, NY\, and is featured in the documentary series “The Line (That Divides Us).” The Decency Project has also been featured right here at the Center for Art in Wood and Love Park in Philadelphia\, PA\, and recently at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden\, CO\, in Fall 2021. \nBraun has worked professionally as a musician\, spoken word performer\, furniture designer/maker\, visual artist\, and educator. He has served as Lecturer in Sculpture at Yale School of Art\, Faculty at New York School of Interior Design\, and Assistant Professor in the Craft/Material Studies Department at VCUArts in Richmond\, VA. He holds a BA in Music from Berklee College of Music in Boston\, and an MFA in Studio Art and Social Practice from Queens College\, CUNY in NY. \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

DESCRIPTION:A Curatorial Talk with Craig Edelbrock | Wed. June 22\, 2022 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm EDT | ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for a discussion with author and curator Craig Edelbrock on the current exhibition Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius. We’ll talk about the process of preparing for an exhibition that spans over 40 years of work and the painstaking collection of information for the accompanying book. Don’t miss this talk with a true champion of craft! \nProtrait of Craig Edelbrock \nAuthor Craig Edelbrock retired from an academic career and is pursuing a second passion as a craft author and curator. He is vitally interested in the history\, current state\, and future of fine craft in America. He has served on the Boards of the Wharton Esherick Museum\, The Center for Art in Wood\, the Kentuck Art Center\, and the Collectors of Wood Art. \nCraig is a woodturner and spoon carver under the mentorship of Norm Sartorius. Norm\, Barry Gordon\, and Phil Jurus collaborated previously with Craig on major exhibits of Emil Milan’s works and the award-winning book Emil Milan: Midcentury Master (2018). An article about Milan written by Craig appeared in American Craft magazine (Oct/Nov 2018). \nIn preparation for Norm’s biography\, Craig interviewed more than thirty people intertwined in different ways with Norm’s life and art\, including family members\, childhood friends\, college classmates\, fellow artists\, collaborators\, collectors\, curators\, and museum directors. Drawing on his professional training and expertise in lifespan human development\, Craig’s biography explicates Norm’s life in the context of his times and addresses his motivations\, aspirations\, inspirations\, and influences. Particular attention was paid to Norm’s “Deep Well” of artistic content and to his creative process. \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?

June 25\, 2022 \n  \n*Registration for this workshop closes June 10\, 2022 \nIn collaboration\, Glen Foerd and the Center for Art in Wood present Steam Bending and Basket Weaving\, a cross-disciplinary workshop with artists Brian Skalaski and Janine Wang. During this two-day workshop\, participants will combine steam bending and basket weaving to create sculptures and functional objects that embody each discipline’s organic and material characteristics. \nIn the first session\, we will cover the principles of steam bending. Participants will learn to create their own simple steam bending jigs to make unique and dynamic bends in wood. In the second session\, participants will learn the fundamentals of basket weaving\, then learn how to apply these to their steam-bent structures\, giving volume and form to their wooden lines. \nABOUT GLEN FOERD\nGlen Foerd\, listed on the National Register of Historic Places\, is located on 18 acres at the confluence of the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River. It is the only remaining riverfront estate in Philadelphia open to the public. The estate was saved from demolition by a coalition of dedicated neighbors in the immediate community. They formed the non-profit Glen Foerd Conservation Corporation to manage and operate the estate\, which is leased from Philadelphia Parks and Recreation. Glen Foerd stewards an eclectic riverfront estate for the enjoyment and educational benefit of the community. Drawing from the estate’s architecture\, art\, material culture\, and history – as well as its gardens and waterways – Glen Foerd provides inclusive experiences that spark curiosity and support Philadelphia’s natural and cultural ecosystems. The estate grounds are free to the public and open every day from dawn to dusk. \nABOUT THE CENTER FOR ART IN WOOD\nThe Center for Art in Wood is a museum of contemporary art\, craft\, and design in the material of wood. The Center presents the work of emerging and established artists from the United States and abroad and offers thought-provoking exhibitions\, a permanent collection of over 1\,100 objects and works of art\, publications and documentation\, events and workshops\, and a library with over 26\,000 artist files\, books\, and documents that span the history of craft.

SUMMARY:The Spoon Gram Project with Kate Hawes
DESCRIPTION:The Spoon Gram Project with Kate Hawes | Thurs. June 9\, 2022 | 6:30 – 7:30 pm | ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP \nThe popularity of spoon carving has exploded over the past few years. Virtual carving meetups and the fact that you don’t need a whole woodshop to successfully create a functional and beautiful spoon have made this craft accessible for everyone. Join us with artist Kate Hawes to discuss their Spoon Gram Project\, a carvers relationship to the material\, and what it means to build community. We’ll also tackle the phenomenon of spoon swapping. Don’t miss this fascinating talk. \n*Image above: Kate Hawes Spoons by Roy Gumpel\nPortrait of Kate Hawes \nKate Hawes is a woodworker and emerging craft writer based in the Catskill Mountains of New York. They are a 2022 graduate of the Masters in Critical Craft program at Warren Wilson College. Their research interests include spoon exchanges in carving community\, the material agency of wood in craft practices\, and the phenomenon of dullness in tool use. They have a certificate in cabinet and furniture making from North Bennet Street School\, and completed a residency at the Anderson Ranch Art Center. They have taught woodworking at Peters Valley School of Craft\, Makeville Studio\, the American Folk Art Museum\, and the now defunct Crafts Students League. \n  \n  \n  \nPortrait of Brianna Harden \nBrianna Harden co-founded NYC Spoon Club with Ben Gancsos in 2018 as a community meet-up for urban greenwood workers to gather and share knowledge and resources. By trade\, Brianna works as an independent graphic designer with a focus on print design\, web design\, and branding. She lives in Brooklyn\, New York. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \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 \nQuestions?
