Next Artisans' meeting, Jim Motto, Feb 10

Jim Motto began his career as a photographer. He became a wood-worker 12 years ago. Now much of his work is custom cabinetry: bookcases, kitchens, entertainment centers, vanities, tables, desks, and credenzas. Jim Motto also carves wooden vessels that feature exquisite ebony black finishes as well as wooden boxes and candle holders. Motto states “I made my first box years ago from a small piece of cocobola that caught my eye at the local hardwoods dealer. Now, many boxes later, I am still intrigued with their blend of whimsy and mystery.” Jim’s craftsmanship and artistry are evident in all his work. He will speak about his wood-working at the next Artisans’ section meeting, Thursday, Feb. 13, 7pm. All are welcome to attend this free event. Join members of the Artisans’ section as they conduct their monthly business meeting after Jim’s presentation. Visit Jim Motto’s website to see more of custom furniture, cabinetry and carved vessels.
