Description/Abstract:

This catalogue was published and distributed by the Crafts Study Centre for the 2014 exhibition, The Carving of the Wood. The exhibition was curated and the accompanying catalogue was edited by Professor Simon Olding.

The Crafts Study Centre holds important collections of wooden bowls and platters by David Pye, the celebrated Professor of Furniture Design at the Royal College of Art 1964-74. These works are presented at the heart of an exhibition which looks at the way that a group of makers have carved wood as part of their practice in objects that are functional as well as sculptural.

The exhibition contains work by Keith Rand, Malcolm Martin and Gaynor Dowling, Matthew Burt, Nick Barberton and Eleanor Lakelin using both hand tools and computer-aided techniques to explore what Pye famously called the 'workmanship of risk and the workmanship of certainty'.
