Windgate-Lamar Fellowship
2019
Statement: I design and build one-of-a-kind or small batch production furniture pieces from a craft centered, studio-based practice. My process employs wooden furniture as a structure to present a specific form or material, calling attention to its individual characteristics, personality, and significance. Fellowship Plans: The Windgate Fellowship will grant me the resources and experiences from which I will develop a body of work that I will apply to both market fairs and residencies. I will rent studio space and equip it with the tools necessary to begin and maintain my furniture making career. I will attend a summer woodcarving workshop at Haystack Mountain that will teach me new skills and connect me to a larger craft community.

In order to increase the value and relevance of craft to society, the Center works to advance the understanding of craft in higher education, museums and cultural institutions, and across disciplines. Field building strategies include convening thought leaders, creating, documenting and disseminating research, and launching innovative leadership initiatives. We provide grants and fellowships to emerging and established craft artists, curators, and scholars in order to build a future for the field of craft.
Recognizing that Asheville and the surrounding area has been a bastion for craft in the United States dating back to the Cherokee, the Center is actively working to preserve and advance the craft legacy of Western North Carolina through the development of our property in downtown Asheville, North Carolina and through a series of exhibitions and community-focused initiatives.
