Eric Hurt
A native of North Dakota, Eric moved to Montana in 1999. While working as a carpenter on a ranch he began making furniture on his own. With access to an admirable woodshop and woodworking library he taught himself and developed his hand skills. In search of more formal training he came to the Center in 2003. After courses and assistantships Eric applied and was accepted as a Studio Fellow in 2004. He now resides in Portland where he is employed by Angela Adams Designs as a full-time furniture maker.
"My passion for furniture making is driven by the desire to build things with my hands, the challenge of design, and the curiosity of my own ability as a designer craftsman."
