Ford & Ching Open a New Satellite Showroom in Oakland
This August Willard Ford and Andrea Ching opened a new sample warehouse or as I like to call it “The Satellite Showroom in Oakland, California. If you happened to stop by the Los Angeles Gallery after the first week in August hoping to see my “Belly Table” I am sorry to have disappointed you because we moved it to East Bay. Don’t fret you can still see my work at the Kim Sing Theater where I just delivered my newest work “The Dragon Table.”
Here box-less F&C marshmallows are displayed in Cherry Burl bowl I spun on the lathe this summer when I visited Connecticut in July. I just want to thank Tyler Bristol for giving me a great lesson on the lathe.
To celebrate this momentous occasion I made a series of 108 limited addition marshmallow boxes. Each individual box is numbered and decorated with a imaged I burned into the wood with a soldering iron and comes complete with your very own laser etched F&C marshmallow. I know it was a lot of work but Andrea was gracious enough to provide me with enough beer to make it fun. I only burned myself once but luckily I was numb enough to not feel it. Here are few of them.
