From: May 2, 1996 To: March 31, 1997 |
(borrowed from the Newfoundland Museum)
This exhibition examines the infusion of design sources from England, Ireland and Scotland in the works of Newfoundland craftspeople. The social use, form and structural design of the different furniture types are illustrated, as well as the use of woods, woodworking practices, surface decoration, and the use of recurring motifs.
