I'm a part of a traveling exhibit called "The Art of Seating:200 Years of American Design" based on Diane Jacobson's chair collection which started out in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville FL this winter and will be traveling over the next year or two.

Here's a video of that show, the collector and MOCA's curator.

I'll also be teaching a "concentration" workshop at the Penland School of Craft in the Fall. It is an 8 week intensive on metal furniture, design and fabrication. I think it will be an exciting class, a great "break" from the studio after pushing for this grouping of shows and a fantastic chance to reconnect with all of my fellow makers in NC.

This Spring I bid a fond farewell to Western North Carolina, re-locating my life and studio to my native New England. The studio is near the old mills in Manchester NH, and I’ve been living in the fun and eccentric Somerville MA.

The studio, after a little work, is humming again. I’m taking some time to learn new Technologies, re-tool and design a new body. The shake-up of moving has given me a fresh perspective that I am excited to bring to the studio.

Somerville and Boston as a whole has been really fantastic to sink into. It’s exciting to be in a city, although I do miss those WNC bonfires!

To all my friends and Collogues in NC, I extend thanks for making my time in North Carolina, fun, productive, inspiring and memorable. A special thanks to Penland School of Crafts and Emma Farms/The Mother Ship in Asheville.
