2010 Furniture Society Conference
Last week, we attended the 2010 Furniture Society Conference, Fusions: Minds & Hands Shaping Our Future at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. The conference, held inside the Kresge Auditorium, considered to be an architectural work of art in itself, focused on bringing together every aspect of furniture making; past, present, and future. The keynote address, “The Value of Working with Your Hands” was given by Ray Magliozzi of NPR’s Car Talk, a well known mechanic, and accomplished woodworker.
