The Art of Opening: Bottles & Their Toppers
May 1 - July 18, 2009
The Art of Opening: Bottles & Their Toppers, will run at the Center through July 18, 2009. Here is one exhibition that is bound to make truly unique gifts for wine lovers and collectors!
To push the frontiers of American and International Craft, the Wood Turning Center sent out a prospectus calling for original hand-made, limited production corkscrews and wine bottle stoppers. The Center recruited two internationally known artists, Boris Bally and Michael Hosaluk, as guest curators for this exhibition. Each juror reviewed the content, forms, materials and construction methods utilized in the corkscrews and bottle stoppers. This highly-imaginative exhibition is shown in conjunction with the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) annual conference, Revolution, in Philadelphia, PA, from May 20-23, 2009.
In an exciting collaboration that evolved from how to display these works, the Wood Turning Center and WheatonArts and Cultural Center, Millville, NJ, have partnered to work with local glass artists to create one-of-a-kind glass vessels inspired by each bottle stopper. These hand blown glass vessels and bottle stoppers will be on display.
Bottles that go with each piece have now been posted!

LAUGHINGSTOCK - Humor in Art & Craft
Luke & Eloy Gallery
5169 Butler Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15201
"Laughingstock: Humor in Art & Craft"
Exhibition: November 15, 2008 - December 23, 2008
We explore how artists use irony, goofiness, satire, and sarcasm in their work. Can humor and satire stimulate laughter as well as serve as a vehicle to explore serious subjects, such as feminism, the natural environment, the excesses of consumer culture, religion, sexuality, social injustice, and war ? Can artwork be "funny" and critical at the same time? How does the artist's choice of materials affect the outcome so that the work is perceived as "funny"? What are the boundaries in humor and who gets to decide what these are? Are there topics we are not allowed to laugh about ?

Art of the Martini 7
"Zaruba & Zaruba opens its doors each year to artists from around the country to participate in the Annual Art of the Martini. This event is a month long art exhibition celebrating the iconic "martini". Fifty artists, including many of the country's top metal smiths and goldsmiths will create their own original fine art from one common media; a stainless steel martini glass.
This unique art show is a celebration of interpretation and individuality, beginning with the concept of the iconic "Martini". Artists are given one stainless steel martini glass to be transformed into their unique creation. All materials and techniques are welcome, and the only restraint is that the artist uses the intended martini glass in their final piece.
Opening night is always an event not to be missed. Over 800 people visit the gallery is this one special evening to shop this unique collection. While enjoying the artwork and jewelry, have a Martini with us to kick off the holiday season."
