Mark is, quite simply, a legend. His unique and instantly recognizable works are in the best museums and collections in the world. We have seen some of his pieces in our field trips. It was really hard to decide what two forms to ask Mark to turn from his amazing repertoire (bats, candlesticks, figures, curved handles, etc.), but he's decided demonstrate a 'figure' and a candlestick for us. Mark was in DC in April to receive a Distinguished Educator award from the James Renwick Alliance, and we are very pleased and privileged that he will be able to come back to join us. Mark will be critiquing our Show and Tell items after his demonstration. There will be a $10 demo fee for this demonstration.

Many of these members also belong to one (or more) of the AAW's local chapters. Although MCW is a local chapter of the AAW, an individual's membership in this chapter does not imply membership in the AAW or vice versa.
