Beautiful woodwork art — from Noupe.com by János Rácz
In the age of the Web, with personal computers and tablets, we tend to forget that art has been around for a really, really long time and that this digital field is just one of the many media in which art and design have a form. Fortunately, there are many artists out there who still turn to more traditional methods of creative self-expression.
In this article, we’ve brought to you some of the finest woodwork art pieces. Hopefully, they’ll serve as some inspiration for your professional work, but also as a reminder that it’s always good to get out of your comfort zone and try out something new every once in a while.

Kendall College in Grand Rapids plans $29M expansion into Old Federal Building — from Rapid Growth by Deborah Johnson Wood
Plans are far from complete, but officials at Kendall College of Art and Design say they’re working to get approvals by summer’s end for a $27.9 million reconfiguration of the Old Federal Building into a creative space where the college, the public and the arts intersect.
“Kendall is growing and like any flourishing college involved with the arts, creative space is so important,” says John Willey, Ferris State University’s vice president for university advancement and marketing. Kendall is Ferris State’s creative arts and design college.
“For about seven years we’ve been thinking about how we could expand in a meaningful way,” he says. “Because of the federal building’s proximity to Kendall (17 Fountain St. NW) and to our other building at 25 Lyon, we’re thinking it would help connect several pieces that we’re trying to do with Kendall College in downtown Grand Rapids.”
Preliminary plans include a studio for ceramics and sculpture, another for metal sculpture, classrooms and lecture spaces, and “significant public areas where the public can come in and engage art and be part of a vivacious creative enterprise,” says Willey. Those public areas may include a restaurant or café.
“We hope to have a major space dedicated to sustainable design,” Willey adds.
Ferris recently added a sustainable design degree to its list of course offerings. A component of the coursework takes place at Kendall, which Willey says will move the college’s expertise in forward-thinking furniture design to the larger built environment.
