him a revered figure in the
studio furniture world, died
Sept. 9
in Fort Bragg,
C A.
Born in Siberia to Russian
parents, young Krenov moved
with them to Alaska and later
Seattle, where as a teen he
built boats. As an adult he
learned cabinetmaking at the
Carl Malmsten school in
Stockholm, and went on to
maintain his own woodshop
in Sweden for over 20 years.
In 1981 he moved to northern
California to establish a fine
woodworking school at the
College of the Redwoods, and
taught there until his retire-
ment in 2002. He advocated a
personal, intuitive approach
to furniture making, grounded
in technical excellence, facil-
ity with hand tools and sensi-
tivity to the nuances of wood.
Krenov’s books-including
A Cabinetmaker’s Notebook
(1976),
The Fine A rt o f Cabi-
netmaking
(1977),
The Imprac-
tical Cabinetmaker
(1979),
Worker in W ood
(1981), and
W ith Wakened Hands
(2000)-
are considered essential read-
ing for the serious woodwork-
er. He was a Fellow of the
American Craft Council and
received the Furniture Soci-
ety’s Award of Distinction.
Alice Kagawa Parrott, 80,
the acclaimed weaver and a c c
Fellow, died Sept. 11 in Santa
Fe, NM. Hawaiian-born and
Cranbrook-trained, Parrott
drew inspiration from various
cultures—her own Japanese
heritage as well as Native
American, Mexican and Gua-
temalan craft traditions. Her
textiles, woven of yarn she
spun and dyed herself, ranged
from clothing and accessories
to large public tapestry com-
missions and hangings shown
in art museums. She also made
the colorful wool ponchos
worn for nearly 30 years by
Santa Fe Opera ushers.
Ted Nierenberg, 86,
founder and president of
Dansk International Designs,
known for its elegant table-
ware and early popularization
of the Scandinavian Modem
style, died July 31 in Armonk,
n y . As volunteer president
of the American Craft Council
from 1979 to 1980 he led the
organization through a pivotal
period of growth and change,
including the transition of its
magazine,
Craft Horizons,
to
American Craft.
William
J.
Mahoney, 88,
a potter and the former chair
of the Department of Art and
Education at Teachers Col-
lege, Columbia University,
where he was professor emeri-
tus, died Aug. 30.
