ROBERT BISHOP Painting Career Spins Off From Children`s Art
W E M A K E K I N D L Y Y O U W E L C O M E Celebrating Our 30th Anniversary! Columbiana, Ohio SATURDAY AND SUNDAY • 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. AUGUST 11-12, 18-19, 25- 26, 2012 W O R K H E A R T S T O G O D ROBERT BISHOP Painting Career Spins Off From Children’s Art Therapy Class R obert Bishop was quite happy with his chosen vocation as a professional child and youth therapist. He worked at a Windsor, Ontario, hospital where he leaned heavily on art therapy to inspire the children to find their hidden inner strength. “If you asked me who inspired me to move from art therapy into a career as a painter, the first person who comes to mind is Kathy, a nurse who worked at the therapy center,” Robert says. “She would often elbow me as she passed my station and say, ‘aren’t you doing anything else with your art talent?’” Robert believes Kathy may have spoken to his supervisor who then asked him if he could do a painting for him. He knew I couldn’t resist a challenge. A month later, the artist took the man a picture and the supervisor encouraged him to do another one. “I think you can do better,’ my supervisor said to me and when I brought him the second version, he asked me which one I liked better. I knew he was encouraging me and shortly after that a bunch of my coworkers convinced me to paint murals on the walls for Christmas. The kids loved them and it made the area more kid friendly.” Shaker Woods F ESTIVAL T O 217 State Route 7 COLUMBIANA, OH 44408 H A N D S He might have continued painting as a therapy tool and a vocation, but he had always had back pain that doctors said might one day require surgery. One day while he was working with the children, his back went into a spasm and he couldn’t walk. He couldn’t keep up with the children who were running through the woods. One child noticed he had fallen and came back to get help for him. “I knew I couldn’t continue to be responsible for the children and I didn’t want surgery at that point in my life. My wife, Patty, agreed with me that God was leading us to take a leap of faith into painting full-time. It seemed an unlikely career choice since I’m color blind, but Patty has a remarkable capacity for adjusting my color palette.” His work is so realistic, you will feel like you’re experiencing his sunsets or walking on the beaches he paints. The pet paintings that are one of his specialties inspire viewers to want to reach out and touch them. This spring, the Bishops saw a pair of eagles circling their nest about a half-mile from Shaker Woods. “I had to paint those eagles and I hope to have the original finished in time to show it at Shaker Woods this summer.” Find Patty and Robert Bishop in booth 181. 2 Shaker Woods F ESTIVAL Lori Cline Letter from the Promoters Three Decades and Counting I t’s hard to believe that 2012 marks three decades of the Shaker Woods experience! However the simple life at Shaker Woods has never grown old for us, it’s as exciting as ever. We love people and putting on the festival has been the highlight of our summers for the last 30 years. The craftspeople, the food vendors and the staff, but most importantly the visitors are what makes Shaker Woods a very special place to be. Some people say life’s a journey, we’d say this is one part of the trip we continue to enjoy. We hope you have a great time once again this year and God Bless All!

I Woodcrafter Features Black Bear Collectibles f you go out to the Woods this summer, you’re sure of a big surprise…Shaker Woods that is….where Lori Cline will be surrounded with wooden bears and a variety of other uniquely designed, cut out, put together and painted collectibles made especially for the Shaker Woods Festival. You may wonder why Lori features bears as a focal point in her Cabin Cellar Craft booth. “The Cline family are hunters,” Lori says. “We live in a rural area where bears may choose to take up residence. Our two sons, Jesse and Nate, learned to hunt as early as the law allowed and in fact they have a hunting show on DirectTV called “Tree Stand Buddys Game On” that airs every week.” She speaks with obvious pride of her sons’ accomplishments and her pleasure in having a craft that everyone in the family can enjoy. “We were really happy when our daughter, Holly, and her family decided they wanted to live here on the farm, too. My husband, Doyle’s family has lived here for generations and I think my woodcraft has helped me fit in like a native.” Twenty-nine years ago, she began to sell her woodwork through home parties. As well as things friends could buy and take with them, she took special orders for family and holiday occasions. She remembers a mother asking her to design and build a clothes rack for her son’s room to fit his interest as a weight lifter. She doesn’t know if the rack inspired him to pick up his clothes, but other mother’s ordered similar teen incentives.

YOU ITE FAVOR E CANDL EGGS-quisite Egg Art Features Lighted Bases and Turntables B rookfield, Ohio - Ruth and Carl Jennings opened their Alcraft Egg Artistry shop in 1971. Their 200-acre farm wasn’t too far off the beaten track and before long customers were making their way to their shop where they featured materials and lessons for every popular craft. Carl remembers that macramé and bead craft were popular and resin casting had come into its own in the early 1970s. “I worked fulltime as an electronic technician at a plant in Sharon and the craft business was Ruth’s to run,” Carl says. “She was always one to listen to her customers and one day, a customer talked her into going to a seminar in Cleveland to learn about Faberge Egg making. It was a day that changed our lives.” He doesn’t remember the time frame, but within what seemed a short period of time, he was hauling a 40-foot long semi-trailer truck of inventory out of their shop that contained everything that didn’t relate to the ornate eggs. Ruth was ready to pursue her passion and pass it on to others. Before she begins to demonstrate, she makes sure her students understand the difference between Pysanki-style eggs and her Faberge-style creations. “Pysanki is painting designs on eggs,” Ruth says. “Faberge was a Russian artist who decorated egg shapes made of precious metals with silk fabric, beautiful braids and precious gems. These were called the Imperial Faberge eggs.

She has mastered the art of cutting, hinging and decorating eggs that hold surprises as unique as any the royal families may have enjoyed. “Tools Carl designed make it possible for me to work efficiently. The brass hinges he designed and manufactures here on the farm are better than any others on the market. He’s also adapted dental tools and a box with a dust collector makes it possible to cut eggs without being exposed to the shell dust.” She also praises his creativity and skill in wiring the bases she melds her eggs into. “Our eggs reveal light under the crystal ice that supports the skaters and more than light they move to the music and if there’s a train on a track, you’ll love to watch it travel on a track with special effects built into the system.” Ruth’s studio is in the shop and you will find her there most days focusing on one step of the process or another. And this is no small space to devote to one craft – 9,000 square feet at the present time with 2300 square feet devoted to show rooms and class space. “Now that Carl is retired, we made the decision to apply at Shaker Woods. Years ago, I helped a friend who sold her work there and I know that people who come to the Woods appreciate fine historic art forms.” To achieve the quality Ruth demands of herself, she spends an average of thirty to forty hours on each egg and many more hours on more elaborate designs. In addition to eggs on gold-plated stands, she makes many eggs with hangers suitable for decorating holiday trees. Visitors to Shaker Woods this summer will see a wide array of intricate things Ruth has done with her real eggshells. One of her favorite scenes is a tiny ballerina twirling on a lighted stage to the music of a Russian ballet. Kits will also be available for those who want to complete their own ready-to-decorate eggs. Prices range from $10 to $2000. The most #49 popular eggs are priced at $38, $78 and $118.

Shaker Woods F ESTIVAL 11 Lori Cline continued from page 2 Crafters, Listed Alphabetically With Booth Numbers “I liked the challenge of bringing the wood to life with my designs and for years my inventory was driven by what people suggested they’d like.” After eighteen years on the home party circuit, Lori decided to sell exclusively through the many large craft festivals in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In addition to decorator woodcraft, Lori makes many useful items, some of them decorated with seasonal paintings. Her most popular household item is a rectangular box that she makes in many sizes. “I’ll bring all sizes of boxes to Shaker Woods and some will have pumpkins or fall leaves painted on them,” the artist says. “My husband, Doyle, finds really unique wood branches that he adds for handles. You can use these boxes for all kinds of things, but I like them as plant holders. They can sit outside for years without losing their good looks.” She applies five coats of finish over the design and insists on painting the backs and underside of everything so it can be viewed on all sides. For the person who loves miniatures, Lori cuts out tiny standup figures people use for party favors or small special occasion mementos. The demand for nurse figures far outdistances requests for any other vocational figures. She prices these miniatures between $3 and $5.

His love affair with wood began in the basement of his father’s home where his interest blossomed into a passion for making split oak baskets. In mid life, after earning a college degree and pursuing several careers, he’s come up in the world of wood to a full-scale woodshop on the second floor of his Cape Cod style house in Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania. “You have to love what you do to exchange a five-day work week with a paycheck to a seven-day 24/7 career with possibilities,” Mark says.

Patterns for the majority of his spoons, forks, salad servers and more than 90-utensils form a decorative border near the ceiling of two walls. Their beautiful lines might have been stenciled there as part of the décor.

Legend has it that King George I was out riding his horse when a sudden rainstorm drove him to take shelter in a wheelwright’s home. There he was offered a chair by the fire to sit and dry out before returning home. The chair was not only beautiful to look upon, but the king found comfort in the scooped wooden seat. By the time he headed back to Windsor castle, he had ordered chairs and given them the distinctive name they carry today “The first time I saw a Windsor chair, I was drawn to the delicate curved legs and the elegant spindled back,” the local builder says. “I was curious about its history and found a builder whose workshop I attended. I fell in love at first sight with the process and within 18-months, I was making chairs people wanted to buy.” He had planned to be an architect, but his fascination with the chairs quickly became his way of life. At first he was able to buy the logs he needed from three local sawmills, but they were small and when they closed, he sought help from the Amish. “You see, the strength of a Windsor, in it’s many variations, depends on the core strength of the logs we strip to form the frame. These core logs are from what they call the butt end -- the part of the log from the ground to the first branch because we need knot-free boards.” Joseph loves the labor of splitting the logs with sledgehammer and wedge as well as using specialized hand tools like the “froe,” a more precise splitting tool. After the logs are prepared in strips of various widths, he stores them in a drying barn until they’re ready for steam bending over many different shaped forms. “I use almost all white oak for these frames because it’s dense and strong. The long fibers are supple and split and bend well. It’s because of these long fibers within the trunk that I split the logs following the fiber lines without damaging them. Most of the work is done on the green wood and once the parts are clamped on forms, the wood must dry up to six months.” The seats can be made of many kinds of wood. Joseph prefers cherry, walnut, curly maple and several exotic woods. He dyes the frames to match the natural color of the wood or in some instances, he chooses to use contrasting stain colors. While Joseph spent his children’s growing up years in the woodshop, his wife, Peggy, focused on rearing their six children – three boys and three girls. Their youngest, Charley, who is in his early thirties, has been the only one of their children who has had a lasting interesting in making chairs. Sometimes he helps with shows, but his goal is to open a restaurant serving healthy foods. His wife, Lauren, grows organic vegetables. “Our other children are scattered all over the world in successful careers,” Joseph says. “Now that we are empty-nesters, Peggy gets more involved in our business. Outside of the few big festivals where we sell our furniture, she cooks wonderful meals for the people who come to our farm and stay for a week while they learn to make chairs. It’s like a wonderful retreat week and each one completes a chair.” Although he spends much time alone in his shop, the training weeks he offers are highlights for both he and his wife. “We’ve hosted many family groups. I only can take six in a class and one class is memorable for including a father and three sons. Sixteen accompanied by a parent is as young as I can take a teenager because they have to have adequate strength in the upper body. Making Windsor chairs is a workout, but a great break from a stressful 9 to 5 desk job. We have quite a few who come back time and again for the pleasure of it.” He says he will have many rocking chairs at Shaker Woods because these have been much in demand. His display will also include a wide variety of Windsor chair styles. In addition to living room chairs, he will have sets of dining room chairs. Prices range from $1200 to $3500. Ask about reservations for a chair-making retreat week with the Grahams or to arrange for special orders.

She’s been warming up crowds for industry icons such as Reba, Wynona, and Loretta since she was 8 years old. It is her commanding presence and explosive stage personality along with her dynamic and versatile voice that has made her a fan favorite and has catapulted her to national attention. These traits along with her passion to perform have earned her the opportunity to work with some of the best music entertainment people in the business as well as major venues across the country including the Superbowl of Country Music, “Jamboree in the Hills”, in Belmont, Ohio. She was only six when she sang her first National Anthem in front of more than 35,000 people for the Pittsburgh Pirates and only 10 years old when she got her first TV appearance when she was chosen out of 24,000 youngsters to appear on CBS’ Star Search. Since then, she has performed with some of the greatest artists in the music industry such as Sugarland, Trace Adkins, Blake Shelton, Allan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Kelly Pickler, Tricia Yearwood, and more. She has worked and written with songwriter Bob Corbin, famous for his many hits with Kenny Rogers, Alabama and the Oakridge Boys. Bob and Vanessa went to Nashville to produce her first two albums, “Vanessa Campagna”, a wholesome, yet powerful four song cd that debuted her 10 year old vocal power and at age 14, “Can You Hear Me Now” a full length production which began to show her versatility as a vocalist and writer. Working with Bob and the studio musicians taught Vanessa much about putting it all together. For more on Vanessa and her music, visit her online at www.vanessacampagna.com. Shaker Woods F ESTIVAL 19 Mark Hamm continued from page 14 30th Anniversary Giveaway... Hand Crafted Water Fountain Register for Drawing at the Information Booth. In appreciation to our family & friends who have supported and visited Shaker Woods over the past 30 years, as well as newcomers, we will be giving away a beautifully hand crafted water fountain exclusively crafted by Sandstone Secrets. Every inch of the 800 square foot room with a view of his wife Collene’s English style garden has been put into service as storage and work space. Beyond the garden, a split rail fence covered with plastic coated dog wire encloses the acre and a half lawn where they exercise the Keeschond puppies they raise to show and sell. “My typical schedule is preparing supplies on Monday for the work I’ll complete Tuesday through Friday. In addition to arranging stacks of American black cherry wood in the work area, I draw the utensil patterns on two-inch boards and stack the boards in bins ready for rough cutting on the bandsaw.” He uses the band-saw for cutting the primary shape, but most of the real shaping takes place at the drum sander. “I built the sander myself and I load it with course 100grit sandpaper for the first round of shaping. I guide this by hand very carefully because with full pressure, I could grind the whole thing to dust and my fingers as well.” He doesn’t wear gloves because he needs to feel the design springing to life beneath his fingers. “The wood flies off and when I’m satisfied with the shaping, I change to a fine sandpaper to perfect the shape and smoothness I want.” He believes the joy he feels in making heirloom-quality utensils, cutting boards, and other wooden implements, springs from the bond he feels with nature and history. “My ancestors came to this country in the mid-1700s and made their living by farming and woodworking. It’s a thrill to me to be doing the same things they did and know that what I do has the potential to meet the needs of generations into the future.“ Viewing Mark’s website by putting “chesterpbasilspoons into your search engine will give you the opportunity to see hundreds of beautiful and functional utensils, counterware, cutting boards, racks.

But Desiree Gilbert has attained status as a woodworker’s daughter. “My dad drew me into woodcraft step-by-step,” Desiree says. “As a preschooler, I’d hang out in the shop doing little tasks from sweeping sawdust to stacking blocks of wood before I graduated to drawing and painting on wood.” Although her husband, Tom, was an art major in college, he worked for Ford Motor Company in Lorraine, Ohio, rather than pursue a career in the arts. When the plant closed, he decided to turn his woodworking hobby into a fulltime vocation. “Our mutual interests make us as perfect a fit as a work team as the pieces of the puzzle boxes he specializes in making.” The first time you see their puzzle box display, you might assume you are looking at a variety of handsome onepiece wooden decorations. You may start to imagine where you’d place such a piece to show it off. If you collect butterflies, you’ll find butterflies. Enjoy music? Consider a jazzy-looking guitar to set on your fireplace hearth. Want to say ‘I love you’ to some special person? A triple heart will speak volumes. But what you see at a glance is barely the beginning. Run your finger down the side of a heart and remove an almost invisible pin to open the first of many doors, drawers and sliding panels inside. Whether the flower, fish or frog is 3 by 3 inches or 8 inches tall by 18 inches wide, you will work your way through an elaborate puzzle inside the box. Take out one little drawer and reveal another hidden one in a quest for the most secret compartment, a place to hide treasured rings, bracelets or coins. “Tom sketches out the inner puzzle in the way a jigsaw maker might draw his parameters,” Desiree says. “Some he does freehand and he’s also designed templates he can reuse. Some may have similar dimensions, but no two are alike because nature varies and he will be working with a variety of beautiful woods.” She adds that finding the unique wood they use is just as much fun as building the boxes. Their field trips may begin near their Ohio home, but spending a couple days circling the surrounding states often brings them to their favorite suppliers in the state of Kentucky. “Tom doesn’t like to buy from a catalog. He wants to see the wood. The boxes all have a solid black walnut base, but the accent on top may be burled maple or buckeye, manzanita, curly oak or one of dozens of other exotic woods. Some of the quality lumberyards import wood from all over the world.” Tom is always looking for new ways to open the puzzle boxes and in the case of his teardrop boxes, he’s used a simple lift off lid. The teardrop box is 18-inches tall and two feet wide with five doors shaped like tear drops. “I find them irresistible,” Desiree says. Boxes are priced from $20 to $2300. An average price is in the range between $100 and $200. Find the Gilberts in booth 202.

Assisted Living/Nursing and Rehabilitation Center 174 Virginia Avenue • Rochester, PA • (724)775-6400 “I probably use 10,000 gourds and I’m proud to say everything we use is locally produced. We have a 30-acre farm and do some growing, but we commission Amish farmers from Pennsylvania and Ohio to grow most of what we need. We provide the seed and get the gourds back ready to palette dry them.” It takes about nine months for gourds to fully dry out depending on their size. During the drying cycle the moist interior creates a perfect environment for mildew and many home growers throw out their gourds when they see the mold forming on the outside. “Mildew isn’t a problem. When the gourd is fully dried, I submerge them in warm water. You don’t even have to add soap although I might sometimes. Let them soak awhile and then scrub the mold off with a metal scrubby. You’ll find a beautiful smooth surface underneath. Give them a short re-drying time and you’re ready to let the shape guide what you make of it.” Mary’s gourd ladles and pitchers are safe to hold drinking water and her birdhouses, which she paints to resemble cottages, have a back door for easy cleaning. “I taught our five children to be involved in gourd craft but none of them have followed us into this farming vocation. The two youngest boys are finished college now and have worked with us on the shows we do.” This year, Mary will teach a children’s class in giraffe making at the Shaker Woods Festival. “When the children complete their giraffe, I invite them to come into our booth and see the display. We get a lot of ‘ohs’ and ‘aws’ and ‘wows’ when they see all the animals.” In addition to animals and household implements, Mary will have an assortment of fall decorations including costumed scarecrows with gourd heads.
