Spicer and Shooner Collaborate on Auction Piece

Posted 20th March 2007, mid-afternoon

Master Cabinetmaker John K. Spicer and Master Redware Artisan Greg Shooner, both from Warren County in Ohio, are once again collaborating on a unique piece to be auctioned at Goodrich's Designer Craftsmen Show of Philadelphia, January 17 - 19, 2008.

Spicer and Shooner broke all records for auctioned original, contemporary folk art in 2005 when their purple martin birdhouse brought $21, 500. The money raised at that auction benefited the Heritage Center of Lancaster County.
The Designer Craftsman Show of Philadelphia offers the serious collector the "best of the best" in American Craftsmanship. This juried, invitational show features the highest quality in fine art, traditional crafts, contemporary folk art, museum quality replicas, original artworks and fine furniture reproductions.

Spicer and Shooner chose to collaborate on the design and crafting of a reproduction of an antique apothecary and, in speaking with Bob Goodrich, of Goodrich Promotions, chose to auction the piece at next year's Designer Craftsman Show. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
