ROCKPORT — “Current Student Work” opened last week at the Messler Gallery, in Rockport, and will remain on display through May 26. The public is invited to visit.
The exhibition showcases furniture and decorative objects created by participants in the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship’s flagship professional training, the Nine-Month Comprehensive. Ranging in age from 18 - 56, the students come from an array of backgrounds and professions. The latter include environmental engineering, information technology, contract construction, biochemistry, cabinet making, sculpture, and military service. For many, this exhibition is their first opportunity to present work in a professional setting.
