Craig Nutt - Cheese

Shoes & Cheese

The Making	I was teaching a wood carving class at Penland School in North Carolina the summer of 2002.	The Car
The 4th of July holiday happened to be during the two-week class.	Cheese	As part of the holiday festivities, Penland has a parade followed by a Soapbox Derby-pitting studio vs. studio
The Parade	Determined to rescue the dignity of the wood studio, we turned to the superior aerodynamic properties of the flying cheese wedge for inspiration.	The Race

Penland, North Carolina - July 4, 2002. Penland School of Crafts' annual Parade and Soapbox Derby.

This was the final week of a two week class on wood carving taught by Craig Nutt. Craig had just been to the Furniture Society Conference in Madison, Wisconsin - and had returned with a genuine Wisconsin "Cheesehead". This is the story of the wood studio's entry in the parade and soapbox derby

The team included:

Joe McArdle, Scott McRae, Helen Purdum, Scott Thompson, Kim Nickles, Howard Shroeder, Bob Merriam, Trisha Lovgren, Bert Ellentuck, John Gernandt & Brian McGeerace.
