In partnership with RAC ARTOber, the Makers Open Studio Tour experience offered the public as a way to learn from masterful artisans and get a in depth look into their studio practice. Throughout the month of October, classes from different artists will be offered each weekend, check out the rest of our events for more opportunities! Works are for sale and commissions are available.
David Cloud is a formally trained woodworker. Learn more about him through his artist statement:
“I operate in a "form folIows function" medium and paradigm believing that furniture and furnishings can be both beautiful and useful. I am influenced by the mid-century modern genre and the elegance of Scandanavian design. Mid century modern is where wood and other materials meet engineering. While being formally trained as a designer/woodworker I have deep experience in aero-structures technology development and hold multiple patents in this area. This experience influences my woodworking, pushing the limits of materials in the objects that I build. In the last decade I have been more dedicated to function over form but am rapidly moving toward art for art's sake in my work. I am intrigued by the possibilities of using wood with other materials to create unique pieces and limited-edition furnishings while exploring the use of a variety of materials.”
