Friends and Alumni: In its Annual Report, the School has an opportunity to focus on and memorialize some of the key issues and concerns of the year. This year the Annual Report documents a juried exhibition of the work of some of our most talented graduates undertaken in collaboration with the Concord Museum, Concord, MA. It serves as a good representation of the past year in a number of ways. First, it is a new collaboration with an important cultural institution in Greater Boston which shares a history and mission with North Bennet Street School. Both institutions were established in the mid 1880s by founders who were interested in education and cultural history, and both share a focus on the decorative arts and traditional craftsmanship. This jointly sponsored exhibition is the latest in a series of new collaborations with like-minded cultural institutions, including joint programs with the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (1873), the New England Conservatory of Music (1867), Boston Architectural College (1889), and perhaps most visibly, the preservation trades training program launched this year in associa - Exhibition entrance at the Concord Museum tion with the Shaker Museum and Library to assist with the restoration of the North Family at Mt. Lebanon Shaker Village, New Lebanon, NY. The Concord Museum exhibition is also a preview of a series of events to be held next year to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the School’s incorporation in 1885. In planning for next year’s celebration, we have thought about what has been important and enduring for the School, and how the School’s success might best be represented. The Concord Museum exhibition reflects our conclusions. It is a demonstration of the quality of training provided by the School and an affirmation that the mission and values of the School, shared by other enduring cultural institutions in New England, are as compelling today as they were in 1885. I owe a great debt of thanks to Désirée Caldwell, Miguel Gómez-Ibáñez, President Executive Director of the Concord Museum, Curator David Wood, and the talented and inspired museum staff for making this exhibition possible. By any measure, this past year has been successful for the School. As always, not one of the year’s accomplishments would have been possible without the contributions of the dedicated students, faculty, staff and supporters of North Bennet Street School.

Thanks for all you have done, and continue to do.

Miguel Gómez-Ibáñez President

4 A Dedication to Craft Introduction The North Bennet Street School @125 Juried exhibition at the Concord Museum

Traditions from the Past in the Present

In an historic collaboration between the Concord Museum and North Bennet Street School, this juried exhibition showcases the work of 62 of the School’s distinguished alumni. The work combines hand skills, knowledge, creative problem solving and a commitment to the highest quality of work. Each piece draws inspiration from techniques of the past and brings a fresh look to classic pieces using today’s technology. These are the components of fine craftsmanship taught at North Bennet Street School. The exhibition, juried by the Concord Museum, presents furni - ture, jewelry, musical instruments and book bindings. The discipline and process of Preservation Carpentry, a nationally recognized program at the school, is also represented, along with an overview of the School’s history drawn from the archives of the School that are in the collection of Harvard’s Schlesinger Library. With an appreciation for the power of a beautiful object or a quality design that transcends time and fashion, the Concord Museum and North Bennet Street School have partnered to make this exhibition possible. Both institutions have been contributing to the cultural life of Greater Boston for 125 years. They share a commitment to excellence, a passion for craft and a mission to steward the traditions of the past while demonstrating their relevance to today and tomorrow.

5 CABINET & FURNITURE MAKING Furniture is generally useful: chairs are for sitting in; cases are for storage. There are many ways to elevate a chair seat to a comfortable height and many ways to join boards together at the edges. However, not all of these approaches are sturdy enough for use and only some of the sturdy solutions are beautiful. The expert furniture maker uses a refined set of carving, joining, veneering, inlaying and finishing skills to explore the solutions that are both useful and beautiful.

Treasurer’s report

North Bennet Street School Treasurer’s Report August 1, 2008 - July 31, 2009

Ladies and Gentlemen: I am pleased to present the Treasurer’s Report for the North Bennet Street School for the fiscal year beginning August 1, 2008 and ending July 31, 2009. Thanks to the conscientious diligence of the School’s administrators and staff, under the supervision of the Board and particularly S. Parkman Shaw, Jr. who served as Treasurer until December 2008, the School had a strong, successful financial year. Revenues of $4,193,541 exceeded the budget by a substantial margin and exceeded the prior year by over 10%. Particularly notable was a 39% increase in gift and grant contributions which more than made up for losses in investments due to the poor economic and investment climate around the world. Tuition and fees, the largest single source of revenue, exceeded the prior year by over 4%, a fact which speaks well for the School’s fine reputation and the commitment of its students to attain their educational goals. The new Walter McDonald Scholarship program and the School’s new Strategic Plan also aided greatly the impressive amount of revenues received from tuition and fees despite tough economic times for students. On the expense side, the $3,592,259 of funds expended were virtually the same as the prior year. As a result, net assets rose from $4,500,403 at the beginning of the year to $5,101,685 at year-end, an increase of $601,282. The Board’s gratitude to S. Parkman Shaw, Jr. must be noted. He has served as a Board member for 10 years with distinction and as Treasurer nurtured the School’s strong financial condition today. We appreciate his service. The Board also expresses its admiration and appreciation to the President, management team, faculty and staff who have maintained and improved the School in all regards during one of the most difficult economic periods in recent history.

Sincerely,

Daniel S. Cheever, Jr. Treasurer

To make or repair a fine bookbinding requires the skillful use of needle, awl, paper, glue, leather, pasteboard, gold and silk in countless combinations. Moreover, the binding has to move to allow access to its contents without stress or damage. A successful bookbinding is a suit of armor that looks like a tuxedo and fits like a glove.

16 VIOLIN MAKING & REPAIR To get a great, complex sound from a violin, every element must vibrate at just the right rate. Violin makers must shape each part with tremendous accuracy before the instrument is assembled and finally played. So critical is the match between material and function that different woods are chosen for different parts. Even the history of the wood matters. The weather where the tree grew, the way the tree was cut, how the wood was cured all contribute to the complicated sound the instrument produces.

19 PRESERVATION CARPENTRY Preservation Carpentry can mean building a reproduction of an older style house, restoring architectural details, stabilizing the structure of older buildings, or even recreating historically accurate pieces. This field relies heavily on both the past and the present, improving upon deficiencies of the past using new materials and technologies. Preservation carpenters are trained to use traditional tools as well as modern tools in order to preserve and restore buildings accurately and appropriately.

Cabot, Kitchen, 2001 Brent Hull, House, 3 views, 2007 JEWELRY MAKING & REPAIR Jewelers use the sometimes subtle properties of metal and stone to make fine jewelry. Metal becomes quite malleable when heated and cooled properly and can be melted and poured, drawn out into wires, pressed, soldered, welded,fused, and polished to mirror brightness. Jewelers must also appreciate the intricacies of gems and how they affect light as it passes through them. Jewelers often use gold or silver mounts to protect and enhance gems, exploiting the wondrous qualities of both materials.
