    Description

    Large lathe turned bowl by studio Craft legend Paul W. Eshelman. Eshelman was part of the first generation studio woodworkers who sought to find artistic expression in simple, utilitarian objects. He was considered a master of form and graceful execution. Along with Wharton Esherick, James Prestini, and Bob Stocksdale, Eshelman represented the United States for wood crafts at the 1958 Brussels Worlds Fair. In 1964 he was included in the ground-breaking "The American Craftsmen" show at the American Pavilion at the Brussels World's Fair. Some of his work is in the collections at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.
    Quoted text from: "Paul Eshelman Dies, Was MSC Professor." July 23, 1977. Newspaper clipping viewed in the collection on May 14, 2014.
