This craftsman's companion celebrates the woodturners, furniture artists, and elite craftsmen from around the world who have taken box-making to a higher level of aesthetic form. Little Book of Wooden Boxes features 31 of today's finest woodworkers and artisans--such as Michael Hosaluk, Steven Kennard, Richard Raffin, Jacques Vesery, Bonnie Klein, and Hans Weissflog--who share their amazing techniques, their inventive talents, and the inspiration that fuels their distinctive designs. Each artist's profile includes full-color, studio-quality photographs of their most spectacular work, including jewelry boxes, desk boxes, reliquaries, keepsake boxes and more, along with insights on their design ideas and objectives. Curated by nationally known historian and author Oscar P. Fitzgerald, this attractive hardcover book makes a wonderful gift for any woodworker.
Oscar P. Fitzgerald, Ph.D., earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in history from Georgetown University and served as director of the Navy Museum in Washington, D.C., until he decided to pursue full time his passion as a furniture historian and decorative arts consultant. He is a member of the faculty of the Smithsonian Institution/Corcoran School Master's Program in the Decorative Arts, where he developed and teaches a core course on the studio furniture movement. His book Four Centuries of American Furniture is the standard reference work in the field. Fitzgerald's 2008 book, Studio Furniture of the Renwick Gallery, chronicles the development and expansion studio furniture movement in the United States through the Renwick Gallery's collection. In 2004, he was awarded a prestigious James Renwick Research Fellowship, which funded research for an essay published in the 2005 issue of Furniture Studio.
