Woodworking Demos: Rude Graves
Advertisement
Free; registration required
Artist Rude Graves of Bird Block Studios presents two live woodworking demonstrations, drawing on the methods of Jiro Okura. Working through repetitive motion and automatic drawing, Graves explores the meditative practice at the heart of Okura’s process — one in which the maker enters a state of focused stillness, free from extraneous thought.
The demonstrations trace Okura’s three working methods — carving, drawing, and gold leaf application — as seen in his work, Mountain Lake Screen Tachi.
