Washington cabinet maker Peter Kramer will celebrate 12 years at his craft with a retrospective show and house tour on Saturday and Sunday, May 14 and 15.
Over 150 pieces of furniture will be displayed at Peter and Joyce Kramer's home and at the Mayse House across the street. In addition, Kramer’s workshop, the Rush River Artisans’ Cooperative which he and Joyce helped establish, and Miss Ruby Jenkins’ museum will be open to the public from noon until 5 on both days.
Kramer’s works are unique; the pieces are not reproductions, but rather they evoke an age of craftsmanship now past. “This is furniture I would have made if I’d lived 200 years ago. My desians are based on the same influences of that time,” Kramer explained. “I try to adopt the mental- set of the 1700’s when I’m designing furniture.”
He has been caught up in that slice of the past all his life. “Everybody tunes into something different,” Kramer said, with a wide grin and self-conscious shrug. “From a very young age, I really felt comfortable with the styles of the 1700’s. I tuned into it. It was com—-' fortable. There was an understanding between the furniture and myself.”
