About the Artist
Craig Vandall Stevens designs and builds one of
a kind furniture in his one-person shop in Sunbury,
Ohio. He studied furnituremaking at the College of
the Redwoods Fine Woodworking Program in north-
ern California, a program renowned for its excellence
in craftsmanship and attention to detail. There under
the instruction of master cabinetmakerJim Krenov,
he developed an extensive background in traditional
cabinetmaking techniques and handskills.
·The
fo-
cused environment of the college became the setting
for Craig to begin exploring the delicate art of mar-
quetry.
Craig's furniture and carvings have been recog-
nized both regionally and nationally. He has received
Awards for Excellence from the Ohio Designer Crafts-
men and won an "Excellence in Craftsmanship" Award
from
American Woodworker Magazine's
national
competition. His work appears in Taunton Press'De-
sign Book Seven
and has been included in group and
solo exhibitions around the United States. Craig is also
responsible for reproducing many of the original ar-
chitectural carvings for the historical renovation of the
Ohio State House in.Columbus, Ohio.
The Art of
Marquetry
is his' third book.
Craig teaches classes on a variety of woodwork-
ing topics and conducts small group workshops in
his shop. He may be contacted at 11951 Wildwood
Lane, Sunbury, Ohio 43074.
