Busy with new stuff! I have been working at the University of Tennessee Knoxville in the College of Architecture and Design's downtown Fab Lab. It has been great, lots of teaching and learning going on. Heres a photo update!

A couple new pieces on view at the Ann Arbor Art Center as part of the exhibition Mid West Furniture Zoku.

My residency at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts is coming to and end. Here is some of my work from our show entitled "A Naturally Picked Stacked Attraction of Glitz" it will be on view until May 9th at Arrowmont in Gatlinburg, TN. 

Here are some images of work from my amazing students in our Upholstered Ottomans and footstools workshop!

I finished teaching my Adult Community class workshop on upholstered ottomans and footstools here are some images from the workshop! 

I am currently in the middle of teaching two upholstered ottomans and footstool classes here at Arrowmont. One class is in the evenings with local adults and the other is on weekends with local highschool students. Here is a photo from the other night when my students were learning how to sew welt cord and staple their fabric on. 

I am working on some new sculpture for our Artist in Residence Exhibition at Arrowmont. The exhibition opens in March here are some in process shots of the new work. I've also posted some drawings to give a better idea of what they will look like. Our opening will be April 10th 7-9pm here in Gatlinburg at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts! 

We are also looking forward to our visiting critic Bruce Metcalf! He will be speaking with us individually about our work and giving a lecture some time in late April, Date is TBD. 

I had a request for some works like I did awhile ago. So I spent sometime revisiting some of those forms and processes here at Arrowmont. Here is some of that work installed with the other residents here at Arrowmont for one of our installations. You can also see some this work in my store in the tab at the top of the page!

I taught a workshop this past week at Appalachian Center for Crafts at Tennessee Tech University. We had a great time making upholstered  ottomans and footstools. Each student worked hard and came away with a pair of ottomans! Here are some images from the workshop.
