FEBRUARY 2017

LETTER FROM THE ACTING PRESIDENTFor 50 years, Hawaii Craftsmen has relied on the generosity of active members, supporters, and volunteers like you, who havehelped us accomplish our mission to serve as an integral part of the fine craft community, promote fine crafts throughout the state,and support our community of member artists. As a volunteer-based, non-profit organization, we have experienced and survivedchallenging financial times but through the hard work of a volunteer Board of Directors and your generosity, Hawaii Craftsmenhas been able to continue the sustainability and growth of programs and events.

In 2016, successful grant-writing efforts helped us fund new initiatives for our anniversary year. However, we now cast our eyesto the economic uncertainty of our times, the ever-decreasing grant opportunities available to arts organizations locally andnationwide, and the challenges that rising costs pose of the long-term financial stability to an organization without an endowment.

We therefore ask that members consider making a tax-deductible monetary contribution—however large or small—to helpsupport us in serving you, our members, and the fine crafts community in Hawaiʻi with quality programs, events, exhibitions, andlearning opportunities. Please make a donation by sending us a check or contributing online Here

Mahalo nui loa for your continued support,

Barbara Thompson, Ph.D. Acting President and Vice President

MATT SZOSZ GLASS Born in Rhode Island, Matthew Szösz approaches materials with an innate impulse to alter, build, and investigate. As an artistusing glass as his primary medium, he creates performance-based experiments and the resulting works have been unexpected andboundary-pushing. Says Szösz, “Many of my works start from a basis of ‘un-likeliness.’” He has received a BFA, BID (IndustrialDesign), and MFA (Glass) from Rhode Island School of Design. He has worked professionally in art and art related fields inRhode Island, New Mexico and California for the last twelve years. He was an Emerging Artist in Residence at Pilchuck in 2007and a Wheaton Fellow in 2008. In 2009 he was an artist in residence at Nagoya Institute for the Arts and taught a workshop atToyama Glass Institute. He won the 2009 Jutta Cuny-Franz Memorial Award, becoming the second American ever to do so. Morerecently he has been the Craftsperson in Residence at Virginia Commonwealth University and a Proctor Fellow at AustraliaNational University. In 2010 he founded Hyperopia Projects, a curatorial organization for the promotion of experimental andcross-genre work. In 2011 he was the Executive Director of Public Glass, a San Francisco non-profit, and was a Louis ComfortTiffany Foundation Grant Winner. In 2012, he completed residencies at the Toledo Museum of Art, Canberra Glassworks, and theDanish Royal Academy, Bornholm and was selected by the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution as one of the topyoung craft artists in America for their exhibition 40 under 40. During his 2014 residency at The Studio, Szösz investigated theintersection of glass, sound, and culture. Through the construction of glass instruments—“or at least sound-producing objects”—he focused on creating sounds both pre-planned through the construction of glass and discovered in the moment during theinvestigations.

Due to popular demand, two of the same workshops will be presented on Oahu.

Artist Statement

Some people use my books as journals and fill them up with words. I don't write in my books. For me, the books themselves arejournals, visual records of my life and work.

I am interested in traces of the past, ancient binding styles, reliquaries, distressed finishes, and found objects. Since I was six orseven years old, I've been collecting small objects. I have seashells and interesting rocks that I collected at the beach on childhoodvacations I've stored up seedpods, rocks, bones, shells, bits of rusty metal, nails, animal teeth, fossils. They represent periods inmy life, even just days or moments. I keep my collection of relics in drawers, bottles, and boxes within a single small room in myhouse. The space has the feel of a German Wunderkammer, a "cabinet of curiosities."

I often sit in the room and scan my collection, seeking just the right object to inspire a new book or sculpture.

A symphony conductor who collects my work once told me that he hides my books in a basket every evening before going to bedso they won't be stolen during the night. Until fairly recently all books were prized possessions -- medieval libraries chainedbooks to the shelves to prevent theft. In those days each volume was crafted with precision, elaborately decorated and embellishedwith precious stones and metals. I aim to make my books just as precious as those medieval manuscripts.

Most my work has a Coptic book at its heart. The binding was first used in the fourth century, in Ethiopia.

I became interested in the healing aspects that the books played within this culture which led in turn to a fascination with themagical and healing properties employed in both Reliquaries and N’Kisi N’konde figures.

Developed as early as the fourth century, this Ethiopian binding style has withstood the test of time. The elegant sewing structure,combined with the use of traditional wooden covers and alternative mica pages, opens a wide range of possibilities for both thebeginner and the advanced bookbinder. Using a variety of tools, both manual and power, you will drill, shape, and smooth yourbook covers. We will then cut, hammer, glue, slice, saw, paint, and sew back into the pages creating niches, alcoves and secretspaces to house and protect treasures, images and words. For the pages we will use a combination of paper and plate mica. Themica is a material designed for lamp shades but also works well as an element in book arts and collage. Finishing includes sealingyour wooden covers with milk paint and a coating of wax as well as adding a leather closure. As time allows, Daniel will sharevarious features he includes in his own bindings and sculptural books. Many of Daniel’s books are featured in the Penland Bookof Handmade Books.

Explore multiple three-dimensional techniques for small-scale object development by way of employing resists to keep specifiedareas from felting together, including a bail for hanging. Study how the relationship of the weight of wool fibers to the area oflayout determines the size of hollow forms and the quality of the felt. Sculpt unique hollow forms by modifying the density offiber layout by incorporating shapes of partially felted wool. Additionally, learn to entrap a durable found object in a thin, highshrinkage felt skin and cut away specified areas to reveal the objects color, texture and material complexity of your chosen object.

Help us celebrate Hawaiʻi Craftsmen’s 50th Anniversary Year. In an effort to support an increased presence of fine craft programsduring the year we are seeking partnerships with other art and fine craft organizations and community art centers, groups, andgalleries. We hope that you will see the mutual benefits of these Strategic Partnerships. Ideally we can begin an on-going workingrelationship to mutually support and promote Hawaii’s fine craft artists working primarily in functional and non-functional 2- and3 dimensional art in clay, fiber, glass, wood, metal, stone, and mixed media.

We are accepting proposals for exhibits, art events, awards, and workshops.

Our over-arching goal is to celebrate and promote public art exhibitions, art displays, and events featuring fine craft arts andartists and to support artists working in clay, fiber, glass, wood, metal, stone, and mixed media through formal and informalworkshops and educational opportunities.

We consider this a wonderful way to celebrate 50 years of fine crafts in Hawaiʻi and we look forward to receiving an applicationfrom you at least 3 months in advance of your planned project. We are hopeful that together we can increase the appreciation andsupport of fine craft art throughout the state and beyond!
