Handmade in America: Focus on Furniture

In conjunction with the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design exhibition "Are Chairs Just for Sitting?" Handmade in America is showcasing the work of all of the furniture makers involved in an exhibition called Focus on Furniture!

Focus on Furniture opened May 5 and continues through August 14 2009.

Handmade in America is located in downtown Asheville, NC at the new Lexington Station behind the Orange Peel Social and Pleasure Club! Check out this link for more information and directions to the exhibition.

The pieces I have in the exhibition are shots from both the past and present of my furniture making career... the Slingshot Lady Bug Table is a whimsical and colorful sculpted basswood and plywood table I finished with acrylic paint in 2005.


The second is a recent piece, the Biernbaum Jewelry Armoire, made from sapele and maple and featuring some wonderful curved laminations. I am very excited about this piece and being able to show it so soon after its creation!



Please check out the show and let me know what you think about some of my new creations and the work of my fellow WNC furniture makers! And help to support local artists and the amazing art they are making...
