eSherICK MUSeUM ‘JeWeLrY’ CoMPetItIon<br />

The Wharton Esherick Museum in Paoli, PA hosts its 20th annual thematic<br />

Woodworking Competition/Exhibition in Fall <strong>2013</strong>. Designed to encourage creative<br />

thinking for items of everyday use, this year’s theme is Birdhouses, with the only<br />

requirement being that the piece be made of wood.<br />

For the 2012 competition (with the theme of Jewelry), submissions from the <strong>West</strong><br />

Coast accounted for more than half of the 25 selected finalists and all the major winners:<br />

Holly Tornheim of Nevada City, CA (1st); Julia Harrison of Seattle, WA (2nd); and<br />

John Beaver of Pacific Palisades, CA (3rd). The Members’ Choice was Julia Harrison of<br />

Seattle, WA, and the Horace Hartshaw Award (student) winner was Nicollette Amico<br />

of Bethlehem, PA.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> theme is Birdhouses, and the entry deadline is July 1. Juried finalists will<br />

be exhibited at the museum (with the opportunity for sale), and cash awards will be<br />

presented. For a prospectus, visit the website: www.whartonesherickmuseum.org, or<br />
