Unitarian-Universalist Church SanctuaryTamworth, New Hampshire
|
I was contacted by the Rector of a Unitarian-Universalist Congregation in the Lakes region of New Hamsphire. She had seen my work on the internet, and realized that she had seen some of my work at other venues in New Hampshire. She wondered if I would consider a project for their new church home, a historic Greek Revival schoolhouse that was being restored to its former glory. The church leaders had allowed that some new furnishings were needed for the Sanctuary, and asked if I could work within their serious limits.
I met with the church committee several times, and we determined that they required a lectern, two chairs for guests, a candle stand, and an additional table for elements of the service. All pieces would be made of solid mahogany.
They had very limited funds for this project, but it came together and we were pleased to attend the opening service. The chair we designed for this grouping was admired by several future clients, so we did build another set of chairs that helped offset the loss on this project.
