INVITED ARTISTS

Each year Hawai‛i Craftsmen recognizes members who represent various media with their artistic excellence and who have made great contributions to the Hawai‛i art community at large. This year, the Hawai‛i Craftsmen Board of Directors has invited Derek Bencomo (wood), Daven Hee (ceramics), and William and Sally Worcester (glass) as honored guest artists in the exhibition.

DEREK BENCOMO (MAUI)

My work expresses my harmony with nature and life in Hawaii, successfully reflected in the movement and visual rhythm I find in the wind, water and mountains. Never figurative, my work balances mass and abstract lines, capturing a sense of motion with motion while the sculptural aspects mirror the figure of the wood. Over the last decade my work has shown dramatic growth from the tradition of woodturning, where bowl or vessel is the norm, to a sculptural approach that is distinctly original. My current works feature lines that curve and stretch out in three dimensions against the subtle backdrop of wood grain. The form, line and pattern are all abstract, reflecting the natural beauty of a wave, stretch of beach and horizon. I think what is exciting about my work now is that I have moved in a direction that focuses on the sculptural elements of my work without being inhibited by the limits that the lathe obviously places on an object.

DAVEN HEE (OʻAHU)

Daven Hee is an instructor of ceramics at Mid-Pacific Institute.  He also teaches ceramics at HMA School, the Hawai‘i Potters’ Guild, and is a lecturer at the University of Hawai‘i. He has exhibited nationally and internationally.

WILLIAM AND SALLY WORCESTER (MAUI)

William began glassblowing in 1969 at the Foundry Workshop in Honolulu, Hawaii. Sally blew her first piece in January 1971 at the Foundry Glass Workshop in Honolulu. In 1972, Bill and Sally opened a professional hot glass studio and gallery in Cannon Beach, Oregon. In 1984, they opened a design studio in Kula on Maui, Hawaii. From 1984 to 1991, they ran dual studios, spending June through September in their hot shop in Oregon and October through May in their design studio on Maui. In the fall of 1991, they moved their entire studio to Maui, forming the new business, called Hot Island Glass. May 2000, Hot Island Glass was sold and Bill and Sally began a new studio, Worcester Glassworks, in Kula, Maui. 

William taught glassblowing for the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts from 1970 through 1972. In 1986, 1988, 1990 and 1996 William and Sally taught the Spring Concentration Glassblowing program at Penland School of Crafts in Penland, North Carolina.

Trained as an earth scientist, M.S. in Oceanography, University of Hawaii. I have always been fascinated by the earthʻs formation. My latest sculptural blown glass work often relates to geological processes: meteoritic additions, lava flows and erosional decay. The pieces are often heavily surfaced, embellished and adorned with dyed hemp. -- William Worcester

My work is very much influenced by Mother Nature. I am particularly infatuated with the colors she uses. I am using Dick Nelsonʻs Tri Hue method and treat my pieces as if they were a watercolor, layering one color on top of the other. I had the good fortune to partner with my husband, Bill Worcester, in a glass studio since 1972. -- Sally Worcester
