Reception and Artist Talk: Thursday, November 29, 6–8 pm
Woodcarving workshop: Saturday, December 1, 10–11:30 am
Homage to Saint Joseph, was a sculptural exhibition by Connecticut artist, Stephen J. Balkun. Wood is the medium of Stephen’s work. He considers himself an artist and a craftsman. When carving, he thinks of Saint Joseph (the patron saint of craftsmen) and likens the activity to a form of prayer and meditation.
During the hands-on artist workshop, Stephen demonstrated his method of woodcarving and taught participants about wood selection, types of tools, and how to use them to create carvings of their own.
