Indiana Artisan Events

Bloomington artists Barb Cappy and Craig Lambert will share  the entirety of their woodworking process beginning with finding the right wood, then cutting, drying, designing, carving, sanding and finally hand finishing.  

Hiking the Bloomington forest trails, this woodworking duo gathers cedar to handcraft beautiful heirlooms, much-loved boxes and artful objects. Discovering and gathering their own wood allows them to find snags, the remnants of once-living trees, then harvest and cut them to reveal the hidden beauty within. They search native Indiana red cedar and aged white oak from bourbon barrels for interesting grains, knots, colors, defects and quality, and then strive to enhance it with their distinctive woodworking style.
