FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 14, 2008
Current Student Work
Exhibition dates: Friday, April 25, 2008– Friday, May 30, 2008
ROCKPORT, Maine – The 4th annual “Current Student Work” exhibition opens Friday, April 25th at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship’s Messler Gallery. The public is invited to attend the opening reception from 5–7 pm.
Thirteen Nine-month Comprehensive students arrived at the Center last September with backgrounds as diverse as software technology, carpentry, farming and writing. Coming from as far away as Vallejo, California and as close as Brunswick, Maine, they shared a single goal?to immerse themselves in the art of furniture making. Under the experienced eye of Lead Instructor David Upfill-Brown and a dozen visiting instructors, students have spent the past seven months mastering new skills through a series of progressively demanding projects. Having striven for the highest standards of excellence in craftsmanship and design, the class has produced an impressive collection of original work.
Exhibiting students include Brycen Buum from Colorado, Cale Caboth from Iowa, Patrick Downes from Vermont, Mark Foehl from Pennsylvania, Mark Juliana from Oregon, Will Karnedy from Vermont, Mason McBrien from Maine, Tim Nuanes from California, Drew Peck from North Carolina, Myrl Phelps from New Hampshire, Chad Rupple from Colorado, David Smith from Massachusetts, and Terry Werner from Pennsylvania. Their one-of-a-kind designs will be on display in the Messler Gallery through May 30 and many will be offered for sale.
Gallery hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays. The Messler Gallery is located on the campus of the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship, at the corner of Route 90 and Mill Street in Rockport, Maine. The exhibition can also be viewed on the Center’s website: www.woodschool.org.
The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship is a nonprofit school, offering courses in furniture making and related arts such as carving and woodturning. For more information, please call 207-594-5611 or e-mail cfc@woodschool.org.
