"Handmade or 'studio furniture' has been a strong presence in California since 1945. To celebrate this movement, curator Kathleen Hanna has traced the linage from pioneers Bob Stockdale, Arthur Espenet Carpenter, Arthur Hanna, and J. B. Blunk to the present graduates of the Furniture Program at California College of the Arts. This exhibition features 25 artists whose work has influenced California’s contemporary fine-woodworking movement."
