Friendly Fire by Jake Wright. Photo: Peter DomorakLovers of amazing, beautiful and locally-made objects, you are invited to our first 3rd Ward Member Trunk Show on March 15 from 7-10pm.
You'll have a chance to peruse an amazing selection of sculpture, jewelry, furniture, fashion, textiles and purchase works straight from hands the amazing and talented members that created them.
One member whose work will literally be lighting up the show is Jake Wright, whose Stockpile Designs lamps you may have seen in our Handmade Holiday Craft Fair. Wright will be presenting an array of his illuminating creations, which he forges out of old ammunition from World Ward II, the Vietnam War and the Korean War.
To the right is one of our favorites, Friendly Fire, which "is made from a recoilless rifle shell used as an anti-tank weapon during the Korean War. Turned walnut finishes the bullet, and a 12" long incandescent bulb casts light through the perforated steel case. Approx. 21" tall, 4.25" in diameter, with a 6' cord. Switch on cord; bulb included."
Check out a few more of Wright's lamps after the jump, and click here for more on his work and the story behind it.
