PROPERTY NOTE Centuries before becoming a grand summer estate owned by one of America's wealthiest families, Castle Hill was well known by Native Americans who called the area “Agawam,” referring to its rich fishery. In 1637, John Winthrop Jr., son of the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was given Castle Hill by the townsfolk as an incentive to remain in Ipswich. For more than two hundred years, a succession of owners farmed the land. In the 1880s, John Burnham Brown transformed Castle Hill Farm from an agricultural holding into a gentleman's farm. He improved roadways and plantings and renovated his modest farmhouse into a rambling, shingle-style cottage that is now The Inn at Castle Hill. -

US Limewood Carver David Esterly Whose Master Died 300 Years Ago Jonathan Foyle
September 18, 2015 3:43 pm US limewood carver David Esterly whose master died 300 years ago Jonathan Foyle Share Author alerts Print Clip Comments ©Pamela Underhill Karaz David Esterly in his studio in Utica, New York Something is whittling away at David Esterly. Almost as soon as we speak, he tells me that “craft” is often seen as inferior to “art”, his ultimate concern. And so, is “artisan” really the right term for him? This restless questioning and philosophising is ingrained in the wood he shapes into objects, ideas and memories. Esterly is a supremely accomplished limewood carver in the tradition of the Anglo-Dutch master Grinling Gibbons (1648- 1721), who pioneered limewood carving in place of oak to transform English Baroque interiors. You might presume that this genre of garlanded tulips, violins, lace and ribbons framing altarpieces, overmantels and doorcases went out with the fashion for periwigs, so that there would be few followers of Gibbons to rustle up much of a comparison. Yet Esterly, who carves, ponders and carves again long into the night at his home workshop near Utica, New York State, is an evolution from Gibbons, and an artist on his own terms. He categorises the creative process into two types: “Type 1” is about ideas leading to eureka-moment discoveries; “Type 2” refers to invention through the constant process of making. Esterly says his work is about “Type 2 creativity”. In his book The Lost Carving: A Journey to the Heart of Making (2012), Esterly explains his epiphany in a London church, far from home. -
