Event Description

After acclaimed woodworker John Economaki developed a severe and sudden allergy to wood dust, he turned to making heirloom-quality hand tools for woodworkers. The exhibition explores the integration of Economaki's work and life and his pursuit of innovation through his furniture, tools, sketches, prototypes, and videos. There is no separation between craft, design, and art with Economaki—all intersect and play crucial roles in his unique approach to making.
