Description:

Steady, Daily Work Sarah Turner Message From the President: I would have been proud to write this note to you simply marveling that we made it to the end of 2020 teaching in person with no program closures or serious health concerns at NBSS. That alone is an accomplishment, and I'm grateful for the diligence, care, and resilience that made it possible. Read more about Steady, Daily Work In the Making: NBSS Alumni Roundtable NBSS On Thursday, December 17, 2020, we held a virtual conversation with six recent alumni who have chosen careers as makers, entrepreneurs, artists, and educators—each contributing to their communities and their fields in important ways. They discussed what led them to train at NBSS, where they are in their careers now, lasting memories from their time at the School, and more. Watch a video of the full conversation here.

They showed previews of work from Suite Américaine, BA's newest project that examines a shift in American decorative arts that parallel changes in prevailing attitudes towards women.

Scott Reedy When the roof started leaking on the home of former NBSS Associate Director Walter McDonald and his wife, retired real estate lawyer Carol O'Hare, they naturally contacted Arthur Massaro—founder of Columbia Contracting Corp. and a member of the NBSS Carpentry Advisory Committee—who had done extensive work on the house several decades ago. He happily took on the job even in the midst of the pandemic, and given Columbia Contracting's extensive hiring of graduates from the School, it turned out to be a de facto NBSS community effort. Read more about Making Peace With a Leaking Roof In the Making: Grab a Chair NBSS On Thursday, November 19, we held a conversation with a custom furniture maker, a curator, and a tastemaker, threading the story between chair restoration, Fuller Craft Museum's exhibition From Where I Sit, and material culture. In the process, we explored craftsmanship, ingenuity, and the expressive potential of the humble seat. Watch a video of the full conversation here. Read more about In the Making: Grab a Chair
