A number of years ago we wrote an article about designing and making of our extraordinary Lounge Chair No. 3. Our intent was to encourage other makers to push their design ideas further. I am pleased to have received my copy here in Ireland.
I am pleased to announce the recognition of Lounge Chair No. 3 from an international jury of fine craft experts. The Arts and Crafts Design Award in an on-line competition with entries from some 40 different countries. Browsing the entries for 2016 is a feast of finely made items from masters of craft. It is a great honor to be chosen from among them as a recipient of the Jury’s Joker Prize. In a pack of cards, the Joker is the card of opportunity. We see this award as a stepping stone to greater opportunities in the future.
I acknowledge the Canada Council for the Arts for their support. Last year, the Council invested 153 million dollars to bring the arts into the lives of Canadians everywhere.
Nous remercions le Conseil des arts du Canada de son soutien. L’an dernier, le Conseil a investi 153 millions de dollars pour mettre de l’art dans la vie des Canadiennes et des Canadiens de tout le pays.
