Teaching Artist Cohort
2024
Sylvia Rosenthal received a BFA from RIT’s School for American Crafts in Woodworking and Furniture Design, built two houses from the ground up with Doug Sigler in western North Carolina, and received a MFA in sculpture from the UW-Madison. She currently owns and operates Lower Astronomy Studios, a design, sculpture, and woodworking studio in Madison, WI. Throughout her career she has taught woodworking and design thinking in many settings, such as university and college programs, craft school workshops, and to children. As an artist she works to destabilize her own identity, activating risk while owning the site of production. She negotiates between woodworking, a trade, and more ostensibly conceptual methodologies.

The Center for Craft is reactivating the Craft Futures Fund grant program to provide emergency relief in response to Hurricane Helene, directing critical resources to the artists of Western North Carolina. Donate now to join this effort—application details will be posted shortly.
The Fall 2024 programs and grant deadlines have been postponed until further notice. The Craft Research Fund and Windgate-Lamar Fellowship programs will continue, though deadlines may have shifted. Please check individual grant pages for details.
Thank you for your patience as we reconnect with the community that means so much to us. We are committed to being a source of encouragement as we move forward together.
