6-Hour Workshop
Date:
 Saturday, May 31, 2024
Time: 
10:00 am-6:00 pm
Description: 
Calling all weavers, fiber folks, or even just curious crafters! In this beginner-focused one-day workshop (designed for weavers but open to all), students will learn how to safely use the bandsaw, table saw, drill press, and hand-held tools, talk through doweling and the basics of glue and joinery, and work out ways to keep their looms going strong. By the end of the day everyone will leave with one (or more!) small-ish projects, which might include a warping board, bobbin rack, raddle, cone holder, sley stand, comb, or more. Wood is everywhere in a weaving studio – let’s start to imagine how you might design, construct, or repair the wooden tools you work with every day!

About the Artist
Kate Davidson is a woodworker, craftsperson, and educator whose work ranges from functional furniture to sculptural play. She initially discovered woodworking after finding a job as a carpenter on the coast of Maine, eventually enrolling in the Vermont Woodworking School’s immersion program in 2017 and graduating from UW Madison with an MFA in Woodworking and Furniture in 2024. Her pieces have been exhibited nationally, including at the Esherick Museum and Museum for Art and Wood in Philadelphia and through Craft Desert in San Diego, and she’s been a part of residencies at Penland School of Craft, the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship, and Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft. Using wood, textiles, paper, and drawing, her work is a study in architecture and the ways light and water change our built environment, from fleeting and unexpected effects to long-term material shifts

A majestic tower in Pittsburgh that defines the city. It stands tall and magnificent in its glory.

In fact, this place has nothing to do with the church, or we can only say that its appearance is like an ancient European cathedral. This is a teaching building, but it is very magnificent and beautiful, and you can go in and take a look inside.
