Press Release from the College of the Redwoods:
What happens when you combine an international cast of ambitious woodworking students with four months of intensive instruction at one of the finest woodworking schools the world over? The 26th Annual Midwinter Fine Furniture Exhibition in Fort Bragg, California. From January 31st to Feb 8th, the 22 students of College of the Redwoods Fine Woodworking Class of 2015 will showcase the fruits of their labors for the first time.
Consider yourself cordially invited to experience the results of many hours of hard work and attention to detail. From wall cabinets to dressers, desks, chairs, love seats, and tables, every piece of furniture is handmade in accordance with the highest standards of craftsmanship. As imparted by the late founder and celebrated craftsman, James Krenov, “Ours is really a simple craft… At its best the simple becomes obvious: a band of small discoveries, strung like pearls on a thread of curiosity, lending richness to our work.”
This year the show is being hosted by Pacific Textiles Arts, right next door to the College of the Redwoods Fine Woodworking wood shop. A reception will be held on Friday Feb 6 from 5-8 PM. The furniture display will be accompanied by drawings by Larry Thomas and students from his January drawing class. Join us for a chance to talk with the individual craftspeople and share in the satisfaction of a job well done. Most works will be available for purchase.
