Episode 024: Danielle Rose Byrd

Recorded February 22, 2021. Woodcarver Danielle Rose Byrd started out making things with anything she could get her hands on. Her ingenuity has continued to influence her work as she starts to include different materials into her practice. Danielle is particularly interested in conceptual woodworking and its interplay with function. She makes bowls that are unique, beg to be interacted with, and enjoys the challenge of wood as a material. In the hope of demystifying and consolidating the techniques she’s learned as a bowl carver, Danielle has written a book called, “The Handcarved Bowl," available now!  To find more of Danielle's work check out her website https://www.daniellerosebyrd.com/ and find her on Instagram @danielle_rose_byrd.  Her new book, The Hand Carved Bowl, can be purchased here.Danielle’s craft crushes are: Siosi, Rusted Pulchritude, Amy Umbel, Aspen Golan, Annie Meyer, Julian Watts, Mattie Hinkley, Sarah Watlington, Angela Robins, Allison Samuels, Sarah Marriage, Peter Galbert, Jojo Wood, Vince Skelly, Sophie Sellu, Annie Evelyn, Alison Crowther, Philip Walker, Enrique Olivera, Amy Arnold and Kelsey Sauber Olds, Luke Fuller, William Coggin, The Haas Brothers, Donté Hayes, Malene Barnett, Elizabeth Catlett, Allison BakerAnd as mentioned at the end of the credits, to learn more about the origins of the printing press with moveable metal type in Korea, here's a great place to start!Support the show
