| Richard R. Jones |
Richard Jones’ interpretative wood sculptures
innovatively incorporate negative space to create very free
flowing depictions of birds in nature. About fifteen
wood sculptures of his nationally award-winning work will be
on display.
"When I look at a bird, I pick out three features that are
representative of that species. It could be a strong
beak, a long tail, a vibrant color or a unique shape.
I have found that it is only necessary to carve a few traits
to portray a specific bird. it sparks the viewer's
imagination making this an integral part of the sculpture.
I show the beauty and elegance and often accentuate their
graceful lines and curves with vibrant color and design.
I carve to bring birds into the home and to grab the
viewer's attention just as the bird does in real life.
In this way, each unique sculpture honors the bird and so
does the viewer." |

Northeast Feltmakers Guild |
Founded in 2002, the Northeast Feltmaker s Guild brings
together felt artists from New England and other
Northeastern states. Its mission is to help members
from novices to professionals continue to develop their
artistry. In the process, the organization hopes to increase
awareness of feltmaking as a fiber art.
Members are invited to attend three weekend gatherings each
year, usually scheduled the first weekends of April, August
and November. At these meetings, members share our
know-how and explore new directions. Each gathering
includes a short business meeting, a workshop focusing on a
specific technique, and a show-and-tell session for new
work. In addition to these gatherings, members are
invited to participate in regional exhibitions and can
engage in the on-going conversations related to feltmaking
through their Yahoo group.
Membership dues are $25 per year. To join, visit our website
