Description: " 'History in the Making: 2011 Renwick Craft Invitational' features works by four extraordinary artists who explore the deep roots of contemporary American craft and decorative arts. Ubaldo Vitali a fourth-generation silversmith and master conservator of historic silver uses classical techniques learned in the guilds of Rome to create luminous works for popes kings and presidents. Cliff Lee a neurosurgeon by training creates elegant porcelain vessels with the exactitude of a doctor often using his knowledge of chemistry to recreate medieval Chinese glazes long thought lost to history. Judith Schaechter brings a wealth of knowledge about traditional stained-glass practice to her moody innovative windows which reflect diverse influences from gothic art to punk rock. Matthias Pliessnig combines traditional boat-building techniques and 3-D design technology to create seating furniture out of steam-bent oak strips that may have up to 7000 points of contact without aid of hardware." -- with a bonus offer-- .
