The Belton Center opened their WOOD: Form and Function on Friday, November 21, 2003 at 6:30 pm. Cider and homemade desserts were served, and the Opening Reception was free and open to the public. It was sponsored by the following Belton Area Merchants and BCA Patrons:
Belton Area Partnership Clinkscales Drugs Gemini Shop KidStuff Kutz on the Square June Martin Mary Cox Frame Shop Roosters Restaurant Simple Beginnings Jill's Carpet & Wallpaper The Candle Shack The Jean Shoppe Mr. & Mrs. Bob Tugwell Wilson's This exhibition which will remain on display through January 10, 2004 features handcrafted, functional and decorative wood objects by both the hobbyist and the professional craftsman.
From the retiree in his workshop to the young entrepreneur trying to preserve the environment for his children and from a degree in furniture designer to a grandfather who showed his love with the things he could make, these craftspeople are as varied as the trees, but they all have one thing in common: the love of wood. Some use modern tools, others prefer more traditional instruments.
The Product of their perspiration can be whimsical, functional, contoured, married to the essence of the wood, or assembled to look "reach out and touch it" real, and often phenomenal. The exhibit features turned bowls and pens, scroll saw ornaments and music boxes, marquetry, rustic furniture, wildlife carvings, and a life size 1937 Indian Motorcycle in a class all by itself.
The Center is located at 300 North Main Street in Historic Downtown Belton, South Carolina. Gallery Hours are Tuesday through Friday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm and Saturday from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. If you have any questions about the Exhibition, you can contact BCA at 864 338-8556.
