James Krenov Memorial
This coming Saturday, October 31, is the 89th anniversary of the birth of James Krenov, the influential woodworker, author and teacher who passed away on Sept. 9, 2009. To mark the event and celebrate his life, students and colleagues from the
College of the Redwoods
will hold a memorial in Fort Bragg, Calif.
The Fort Bragg town hall is traditionally the location for shows featuring work by students at the fine woodworking program founded by Krenov in 1982, and it will be the location for this gathering. If you can make it, it will be an opportunity to see several pieces of Krenov's work, as well as slides and videos from the woodworking program. More information is available at the
school's web site
.
The family has requested that those wishing to remember the life of Jim Krenov with a gift send a
donation
to the James Krenov scholarship program. To view images of some of the last pieces made by Jim, visit
JamesKrenov.com
. In our
December
issue, (on its way to subscribers and on newsstands in mid-November) we feature a tribute to James Krenov written by
Ron Hock
, and you can read an article about our visit to the College of the Redwoods by
