LIHUE — Hawaii Craftsmen will host a free public lecture March 20 with wood sculptor Mark Gardner.
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. at Galerie 103 in Koloa.
“I work primarily in green wood, as it is readily available to me in quantity and size. This influences the work as not every piece I want to make can be made from any random log,” Gardner said in a release for the event.
Mark Gardner has work in many national collections, including Museum of Art and Design (NY), Yale Art Gallery and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
“I enjoy the process of discovery as a new piece is started,” he says. “There is a back and forth between me and the material as I try to find the best way to utilize what it has to offer.”
Galerie 103 is at 2829 Ala Kalanikaumaka Road, in Koloa. Gardner will also lead a three-day workshop on Kauai beginning March 21.
