My name is David Skaurud. I am currently 23 and living in the wonderfully cold city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am one of the recipients of the 2010 Windgate Fellowship which was awarded to me by the Center for Craft Creativity and Design. This blog is an account of what i have been doing with the sum of money that was awarded to me.
By trade i am a furniture designer. The college that i attended was the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). I tend not to think of myself in such strict terms as being only a furniture designer. Really i would like to think i can do, or at least figure out pretty much anything that involves using my hands to create. So call me sculptor, furniture maker, luthier, fabricator, bladesmith, or anything else you would like, as i have made all of these things. Truly it is simply a matter of my love to create and build with my own two hands. While I have found that i enjoy a particular love for metalworking i also enjoy woodworking and many other mediums.
This is just a little bit about myself, in the following days i hope to put up a series of posts to enlighten you all on what i have been up to since i received my Fellowship
David
