Visit to the Museum Display - MASTER CRAFT - THE ART OF WOODWORKING

Posted on the museum's website:

MASTERCRAFT:  THE ART OF WOODWORKING - on Display March thru May 21, 2016 in Anaheim, CA

----------------------------------------------

In today’s tech-driven society, a post-industrial nostalgia for the handcrafted object has experienced resurgence.  Master Craft: The Art of Woodworking features the craftsmanship of California artists utilizing wood and the handmade process to create objects serving both utilitarian and decorative functions.  The exhibit consists of vessels, furniture and sculptures, as well as a collection of antique tools and an introduction to woodworking techniques. Included is a kidzeo area where children can construct wooden objects utilizing instruction cards. 

Artists represented include bill Churchill, Ken Cowell, Dennis Hays, Bruce Lewellyn, Osvaldo Orellana, Michael Rafferty, Ed Rizzardi, Fred Rose and David Wade.


Antique tools on loan from the Straub family and Austin Hardwoods and Hardware. Thank you to our sponsors: West Coast Arborists, Ganahl Lumber, Freeman and City of Anaheim.

Kathie and I visited the museum on May 20, 2016.  Ed Straub was a charter member of the Rapid City Woodworkers Association - in fact, he was the first person to make a donation to get the club started in 2008.   Ed Straub passed away last year in May 2015.  Many of his and his fathers, and his grandfather's tool were loaned from the Straub Family to be used as part of this very professional display.  The curator for the exhibit was Sarah, who has worked the Orange County Fair Woodworking and Photography exhibits for many years.  She did a superb job on this exhibit!
