FRED BAIER TALK 

The Willie Wonka of Woodwork

(According to iD magazine) 

We are very fortunate to be able to present a most intriguing, fascinating and clearly entertaining talk by Fred Baier!

The Willie Wonka of Woodwork

(According to iD magazine) 

This talk will be given by Fred Baier, British sculptural furniture designer, and studio practitioner.  Fred is a recent past master of the Art Workers Guild and was a part time tutor at the Royal College of Art (RCA). He was also a visiting lecturer at art colleges up and down the country, in Europe, the US (spending 3 years in New York) and Australia. They’ve awarded him honorary fellowships from the RCA, Hereford College of Art and Northern Arts. 

His 50-year career, creating pioneering furniture objects, utilizes convergent technologies and state of the art processes. His inspirations mostly come from industrial imagery, the built environment and theories of geometrics, structure and proportion. With a pinch of science fiction.

Fred will tell stories of his journey through ‘the great analogue/digital divide' guided by his "adjusted" Bauhaus theory that :-)

Form SWALLOWS Function. 

Be assured, there will be a lot of stuff to get through in this seat of the pants ride.
