Text Box:

Text Box:  This exhibition of woodturnings from the Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Craft’s collections was inspired by Jason Busch’s research for the Huntington’s Pacific Standard Time exhibition The House That Sam Built
(
September 24, 2011 -January 28, 2012).  Busch uncovered voluminous archives and well-preserved objects documenting the rich friendship shared by three seminal figures in the woodworking renaissance of the 20th century: Sam Maloof (1916-2009), Bob Stockdale (1913-2002), and Ed Moulthrop (1916-2003).  While Sam Maloof earned an international reputation for his studio furniture, Stocksdale and Moulthrop focused their energies and talents on woodturning.


This exploration provides a rarely documented account of personal and professional joys and hardships shared among friends working in parallel professions.  It establishes Sam Maloof as a key player in the studio woodturning field through the inspiration and support he provided for two of its earliest advocates.

Text Box:

In Words and Wood may be seen as part of the Maloof historic residence tour featuring extensive collections of arts and crafts and Sam Maloof’s handmade furniture.  More than 30 exquisite woodturnings by Ed Moulthrop and Bob Stocksdale, along with the recently discovered original correspondence and related documents, are on exhibit in the Pyramid Room. 

Docent-led tours of the historic residence are offered on Thursdays and Saturdays at 1, 2 and 3 PM.  Due to limited capacity, reservations are strongly recommended for all tours.  Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, $5 for students. Call 909-980-0412.
