MEMBER SPOTLIGHTCharles Wright Sculptor, Retired Educator "To make meaning or to create a desired shape dictates what my preferred method or medium can be at any one time; however, my current favorite medium is wood. I like the subtractive carving process with wood; however, in order to make connections, and to achieve a particular shape, I will, without hesitation, use additive methods of joining materials together with glue or dowels. I am focused at the moment on making pedestal top size wood work." To reach more about Charles, click here. Would you like to be in the spotlight?
