The 2006 Master and Apprentice Annual Exhibition of Baulines Craft Guild
On July 19, 2006 Baulines Craft Guild presented the work of Guild Masters and apprentices at the Craft and Cultural Arts Gallery at 1515 Clay Street in Oakland. The showcase featured current work of Masters and the Guild education programs. BCG has a well-deserved reputation on the quality of their education programs, which offer one-to-one study in the workshops of Masters of fine craft. This year, the Guild was happy to debut the work of Kimberly McNeelan, first year apprentice at Michael Cullen Design; and Alison McLennan, apprentice and assistant to Garry Knox Bennett, well-known Oakland-based artist/craftsman and Guild Honorary member. Cullen and Bennett will also show. Included in the exhibition of fine crafts in metal, clay, fiber, wood furniture and turnings were new Master members Rene Almon, furniture maker; Joy Stocksdale and Karen Hampton, fiber artists; and Griffe Griffiths, metal artist.
Junior Apprentices from the "Futures in Fine Craft" program of the Guild showed work in clay and wood. Yan Huang, Javier Gutierrez Omar, and Jesse Houston of Mission High School in San Francisco spent a semester in the studio of Catherine Merrill, Master ceramist; Lucky Hall of Marin Academy studied with Don Braden in instrument and furniture making.

Take A Virtual Tour
On August 17, 2006 the Guild hosted a symposium on "Communities of Practice" in the auditorium adjacent to the Gallery at 1515 Clay Street. David Adams spoke on "The Culture of Furniture Makers" and described issues and strengths in the field of fine studio furniture. Adams received a grant for critical writing and research from the Craft Research Project and interviewed many Guild Masters for his project. This was the first public presentation of his results. Daniel Oberti and Mario Uribe presented their work with youth in "Art Start" and Catherine Merrill described the Guild's Junior Apprentice program. Michael Cullen and Jerry Kermode demonstrated woodcarving and wood turning on the lathe.
Ted Cohen, Carole Austin, and Kathleen Hanna selected work for the show from submissions by the members, and Ted Cohen designed the exhibition in the Gallery.
These activities are all part of "Third Thursday--Oakland Art Night".

Art Carpenter was in this circle of those interested in fine furniture making and other studio crafts and began teaching in his Bolinas Studio. The BCGuild recognizes Tom and Art and the journey they began which has led us to this moment.
This exhibition honors this journey and the continuing relationship of Master to Apprentice. We will offer a toast to Art Carpenter. Art will shows his "Shell Desk," reissued by his son, Tripp Carpenter.
