Makin Furniture

The 4th Makin Furniture exhibition, promoted and curated by Steve Makin, closes February 25th, 2006, after a 40-day run at the Chandler Center for the Arts. Featuring the work of 15 (or so) Arizona woodworkers, including several WSG members, this is one of few show venues for this kind of work in Arizona. The opening in January was well-attended by artists, friends, and interested patrons and observers. According to Steve, 3 pieces were sold (not all the work shown was for sale).

Steve puts a lot of work into making these shows happen, and we all owe him our thanks.
