Student Work
Selected work from Peter's studies at the School for American Craftsmen (later renamed the School for American Crafts) at the Rochester Institute of Technology, with master craftsmen Wendell Castle and Bill Keyser. Peter's Bachelor's thesis was based upon investigating anatomical forms as design elements, as these sculptures so clearly illustrate. The table and chairs were an investigation of the technique of "coopering" to create forms that are ribbon-like.
