Excerpts from our Winter Newsletter

From Gallery Director David Mac Laren in Sweden for JoINT - an International Arena for Woodworking Culture 2008

From different parts of the world we are gathered together for JoINT, an International forum for making public seating for the town of Mariestad, Sweden, in early May, when spring is in full swing, with long hours of sun light, and twilight in the evening until 10 pm. There are three of us from Australia: Matthew Harding, a very highly regarded furniture maker and sculptor; Tracy Gumm, a recent graduate of the Australian School of Fine Furniture in Launceston,Tasmania, and myself.

Per with YukoWe are meeting for the first time two makers from Japan, Kenji Komatsu, and Yuko Yanagihara; two artists from Dakar, Senegal, Kemzo Malou and Babacar Niang; and four artists from Sweden; Lars Apelmo, Peter Hellqvist, Hiromi Ballantyne, and Graham Stacey. And there were an equal number of assistants, mostly third year students. (As well as a few who just dropped by after completing their year’s studies and making, from Denmark, from Holland . . .) We are gathering at Per Brandstedt’s home, workshop, and recently completed gallery and café. How did this come about?
