Annual Report | 3 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends This year marks the 125th anniversary of North Bennet Street School. It has been a year of many accomplishments and celebrations. Craft in America , a public television program featuring the work of the school, was broadcast nationally and an exhibition of student and alumni work at The Concord Museum was seen by thousands. A stunning show of our graduates' work held at the WGBH television studios in May was the best-attended and most successful Annual Evening of Traditional Craft ever. These anniversary events were intentionally focused on the present and the future rather than the past, but it is impossible to ignore the continuing influence of the school’s history on what we do now and how we plan for the future. One striking example of how history has influenced our current programs is the return of woodworking classes for public school students at the nearby John Eliot K-8 School -- a program that first began in 1883 and continued for over 30 years until manual arts training was made compulsory in Boston schools. We re-initiated the program this year because now, as then, the manual-arts do not have a well-understood place in public school education. From its inception, North Bennet Street School has championed the impor - tance of teaching hand-skills to young students as they develop their intellec - tual skills and begin the process of identifying their unique talents. We are pleased to host the latest generation of Eliot School students through this grant-funded pilot program. The theme for this annual report -- a snap - shot of the class of 2010 -- is a response to a photograph of students gathered outside 39 North Bennet Street 100 years ago. We restaged the historic photograph because Miguel Gómez-Ibáñez, President and Sal Perez, a 6th grade images, better than words, convey the inten - student at the John Eliot School. sity and energy that never fail to impress and inspire the hundreds of visitors who tour the school each year. As you can see from the group picture on the cover and the class pictures inside, we continue to enjoy a sense of community created over many decades by students who have found a home at North Bennet Street School. As we work in the present, plan for the future, and appreciate the past, we are grateful for the myriad contributions of faculty, students, alumni, donors and friends. Thank you for making all that we do possible. Miguel Gómez-Ibáñez President 4 | Annual Report Board Overseers Board Standing Facilities Committee of Directors Committees Brian D.

Tomasone Tim Williams Annual Report | 5 HIGHLIGHTS 2009-2010 A SNAPSHOT OF SPECIAL EVENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS North Bennet Street School received national c e attention when it was featured in the new PBS series Craft in America . The school was profiled in Process , the c episode that focused on what inspires a person to choose a career in craft and how one pursues that dream. c In August 2009, the school exceeded its goal to e raise $300,000 for scholarships before the end of c the calendar year. The incentive to reach the goal was created by a generous offer to match the funds if the goal photo courtesy of Craft in America c was met. As a result of exceeding the goal, the matching funder increased the match by $50,000. The second goal was met for a total of $350,000 in matching funds, bring - c ing the value of the scholarship fund to over $1,000,000. c A new Furniture Design Certificate program e created through the synergy of the extraordinary c and complementary strengths of two Boston institutions – North Bennet Street School and Massachusetts College of Art and Design – offers a unique in-depth program c focused on the design and craft of studio furniture. c The 11th Annual Evening of Traditional Craft was e held May 18, 2010 at the WGBH Studios in Boston. c Guests viewed more than 65 hand-crafted pieces and other exhibits. Guests left with cookies in the shape of c tools and a copy of the City of Boston’s inspiring procla - mation of May 17 – 23, 2010 North Bennet Street School Week. c Sixth-grade students from the nearby John Eliot c e K-8 School returned to NBSS in the Spring of 2010 Bed by Paula Garbarino CF '88; photo by Bill Brett for instruction in woodworking, renewing the historic col - c laboration between North Bennet Street School and the Boston Public Schools initiated in 1883. Due to the suc - cess of the program, plans were quickly made to expand c the program to include all Eliot School sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students beginning September 2010. c The work of some of the most prominent studio c e furniture makers in the United States was shown this March in a group exhibition of handmade furniture at Gallery NAGA in Boston. In an unprecedented gesture c of financial support, half the purchase price of every exhi - bition piece sold was donated to the school; this benefit c generated nearly $10,000 for the school. c Beginning in the 2009-2010 school year, a new e collaboration with Bunker Hill Community College Tray Table by Timothy Philbrick allows credit for NBSS training to be applied toward a c Bunker Hill Certificate in Entrepreneurship or an Associate Degree in Business Administration. c c 6 | Annual Report EXHIBITORS 2009-2010 Annual Evening of John Herbert, CF ‘06 David Fitzpatrick, JM‘11 Providence Traditional Craft Alexa Holmes, CF ‘06 Valerie Fendt, BB ‘10 Fine Furnishings & WGBH Charlie Kline, CF ‘05 Denise Fenoglio, JM ‘06 Fine Craft Show May 18, 2010 Alison Kuller, BB ‘99 Mark Ferioli, CF ‘11 Rhode Island Kevin Ainsworth, CF ‘09 Amy Lapidow, BB ‘95 Sera Ford, JM ‘10 Convention Center October 23-25, 2009 Amanda Aker, JM ‘07 Nancy Lev-Alexander, BB ‘91 Fionnuala H.

Please note that this document provides a complete list of acknowledgments by the authors. The textbook itself contains a somewhat shortened list to accommodate design and space constraints. Acknowledgments from the Authors The Craft-Camarata Frederick Hürten Rhead established a pottery in Santa Barbara in 1914 that was formally named Rhead Pottery but was known as the Pottery of the Camarata (“friends” in Italian). It was probably connected with the Gift Shop of the Craft-Camarata located in Santa Barbara at that time. Like his pottery, this book is not an individual achievement. It required the contributions of friends of the field, some personally known to the authors, but many not, who contributed time, information and funds to the cause.

Besides, embracing inevitably needs of the new era going with the social change rather than dwell on the nature of mere handicraft era, it has evolved with economic revival in the United States, the attention and increased consumption of the public, and ongoing government-sponsored. And more recently, the American contemporary Art Furniture faces another change in the non-boundary phenomena between art and design. American art furniture since the 1980s are summarized as three major trends: Art furniture em- bellished with traditional hand-craft, Art furniture featured the individualistic avant-guard char- acteristic, Art furniture eroded the distinction between art and design. By analyzing focusing on the furniture artists and their works in contemporary art furniture deployment aspects since the 1980s, the purpose of this study can be utilized as a method to measure the forward direction, internationally competitive, creativity, and artistic value of the domestic art furniture.
