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. The residency concludes in an exhibition at the Center for Art in Wood comprising work made by Fellows before and during the program. \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

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. 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. \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? Please contact Katie Sorenson\, Director of Outreach and Communications at katie@museumforartinwood.org.

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

SUMMARY:A Curatorial Talk with Craig Edelbrock
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?

SUMMARY:Gallery Tour for Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Tour for Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius | Sat. June 11\, 2022 | 2 pm and 4 pm | The Center for Art in Wood and The Furniture Society\nRSVP for the 2 pm Tour \nRSVP for the 4 pm Tour \nJoin us for a guided tour of our current exhibition\, Spoons to Stir the Soul: The World of Norm Sartorius. Spoons to Stir the Soul is the first career retrospective exhibition celebrating the life and work of extraordinary wood carver Norm Sartorius. In a career spanning more than 40 years\, he has literally carved a niche for himself\, opening new doors for creative possibilities in the material of wood. The exhibition includes many of Sartorius’s finest works\, selected from some of the premier private and public collections in the United States. The show traces the dynamic evolution of the artist’s creative expressions\, from his earliest efforts as a professional woodworker in the 1970s to his commitment to the spoon as a fine-art category in the 1980s and ‘90s\, and culminating with his current mature vision\, aesthetic refinement\, and woodworking mastery—all of which have produced a unique and deeply soul-stirring oeuvre of art-in-wood. \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. \nFor questions contact Katie Sorenson\, Director of Outreach and Communications at katie@museumforartinwood.org or 215-923-8000 ext 103.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk for Spoons to Stir the Soul with Norm Sartorius
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Talk for Spoons to Stir the Soul with Norm Sartorius | Sat. May 7\, 2022 | 1:00 pm EDT | Hybrid Event\nClick HERE to RSVP\nGuests may join us in person or via ZOOM \nJoin us for a Gallery Tour of Spoons to Stir the Soul with artist Norm Sartorius who will lead you through the first career retrospective exhibition celebrating 40 years of his life and work. The exhibition includes many of Sartorius’s finest works\, selected from some of the premier private and public collections in the United States. In addition to Sartorius’s spoons\, Spoons to Stir the Soul will include outstanding examples demonstrating the breadth of his artistic repertoire\, including larger sculptures. \nNorm Sartorius (b. 1947) has built a unique career sculpting wooden spoons that\, as he says\, “stir the soul\, not the soup.” Leaving a job in psychiatric social work\, he embarked as a young man on a quest to find something tangible to make with his hands. With no background\, he apprenticed with versatile crafters Phil and Sandye Jurus in Baltimore. He learned about tools and techniques in wood and metal. Leaving the city\, he became a hippie homesteader in the mountains of West Virginia living on 25 acres on a remote mountaintop for five years. He sold functional woodenware of various kinds at local craft fairs\, but it was his spoons that caught people’s attention. They had an artistic flair that hinted at ta deep artistic well of ideas and forms expressed as spoonish sculptures. Norm\, too has said that spoons held a special attraction for him from the start. \nNow 30 years on\, Norm has “stayed in his seat\,” exploring the common wooded spoon as a context for sculpture. Using woods of exceptional beauty\, he shapes each spoon to stand as a unique artistic statement of color\, form\, and texture. Advancing the art of the spoon to a very high level\, each work is inspired by the wood itself\, and draws on his deep repository of creative ideas and ancient spoon making traditions worldwide. \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?
