Wild Elegance Sculpture Exhibit

The latest exhibit showcases the sculpture of local artist Copper Tritscheller. Copper’s works, cast in bronze, simultaneously capture the true nature of her subject as well as personify them. A body of work that encompasses a menagerie of friends small and large. Her reputation as a Sculptor precedes her, her trademark bats and burros are so uniquely recognizable and possess a timeless elegance which has been well received in Galleries across America and as far afield as Asia.
This exhibit should not be missed !

Timber Framing Workshop

This workshop will be the ultimate testament to craftsmanship – and we will be learning by real world example. Along the way we will share trials, tribulations and ultimately succeed in building something truly amazing – our knowledge.

Our finished structure will stand as an enduring monument to teamwork, craftsmanship & timber – a shrine for pizza, a utopia for woodworkers and a wicked cool view for the merely uninitiated. L’Temple du pizza will function in the future as a home for wood fired confectionary, and a place for students, clients and woodworkers to relax and revel in craft.

We believe that craftsmanship can enrich and add value to our lives, but only if we let it. Experiencing the work that goes into a project like this will give us a newfound appreciation for traditional craft and for the people who practiced this art that came before us.

After the accomplishment of this class, you will feel empowered and ready to tackle your next project with newfound energy, skill and efficiency.
