SUMMARY:Sculptural Weaving with Reed: A Workshop with Teresa Audet
DESCRIPTION:Sculptural Weaving with Reed: A Workshop with Teresa Audet | Sat. Oct 14\, 2023 | 12:00 – 3 pm ET | NextFab 1800 N. American St\, Philadelphia\n$100 General Registration \n$85 Museum or NextFab Member Registration \nIn celebration of the closing of PLACING: The Windgate Arts Residency Program 2023\, the Museum for Art in Wood and NextFab are proud to announce an afternoon workshop with artist Teresa Audet. In this exploratory workshop\, students will learn several types of weaving with rattan reed. We will cover twined basketry\, random weave\, and hex weave. Everyone will get to try a few techniques and then combine them to create a sculptural vessel of their own design. No prior experience necessary.\n* Image above: Teresa Audet\, A Journey\, 2023. Photo John Carlano \nPortrait of Teresa Audet \nTeresa Audet creates sculptures using carved wood\, woven rattan\, and cast paper pulp. Her current research focuses on the connections between craft\, performance art\, and care ethics. Audet is interested in objects that serve as vessels for unexpected and emotional interaction through utility\, humor\, and absurdity. Her work contains hidden interiors and unexpected drawers\, rewarding the viewer for deep looking. The small luxuries within these works are experienced on an intimate level. \nAudet’s practice explores the role of artmaking as a meditative tool for emotional processing. For Audet\, practicing mindfulness through the use of hand tools and repetitive actions becomes a performance of care and communication. The resulting objects serve as a visual diary\, telling secrets between her hands and her brain. Audet’s work lives in the space between function and non-function and mirrors her own balance of logic and emotion. \nTeresa Audet\, Drip 2\, 2023 WARP Wood.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk with Winter Residency Fellow Adam Atkinson
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Talk with Winter Residency Fellow Adam Atkinson | NextFab 1800 North American Street | Fri. March 15\, 2024 | 6:30 pm EST | Hybrid Event\nClick HERE to RSVP\nGuests may join us either at NextFab North or via Zoom. \nJoin us for a gallery talk with the 2024 Winter Residency Fellow Adam Atkinson. The residency is designed for artists in Greater Philadelphia who work in the medium of wood and is a collaboration between the Museum for Art in Wood and NextFab. An exhibition of the work created over the two-month-long program will be presented at the NextFab North Philadelphia location. \nABOUT ADAM ATKINSON\n \nPortrait of Adam Atkinson by Myles Pettengill @myles_standis \nAdam Atkinson (he/they) is a Philadelphia-based metalsmith\, curator\, and educator. They received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Studio Practices from Boise State University in 2013 and a Master of Fine Arts in Metal Design from East Carolina University in 2019. Atkinson’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally\, including at the Metal Museum in Memphis\, Tennessee\, Blowing Rock Museum of Art and History in Blowing Rock\, North Carolina\, and Nagoya Zokei University in Japan. \nAtkinson uses a variety of techniques and materials to explore different narratives in their artistic practice. In their The Orifice Series\, they explored the link between the body and nature using metal and wood juxtapositions. Each piece draws upon organic\, bodily imagery and fur textures overlaid on carved cherry wood; all carefully handcrafted using repousse\, an ancient technique of forming sheet metal\, woodcarving\, and burning. Atkinson also interrogated the role traditional Ancient Roman busts played as historical markers for powerful figures in his Wood Bust Series. With these works\, they questioned the legacies of the figures who have been memorialized through busts\, what marks a great achievement in our society\, and the role the form and function play in visualizing social structures. \n ABOUT NEXTFAB \n\nNextFab is a network of membership-based makerspaces that provide access to tools\, technology\, education\, events\, and services for makers and creatives.
