John Bonewitz Display and Talk at the 2009 Mini CLA Show by Henry Bishop


Henry Bishop on the right is explaining his display to Charlie Wallingford.


Henry talked about the characteristics of Bonewitz's work such as the hinge that is the width of the patchbox,  the two holes that are near the spring of the patchbox and the flourish at the end of the patchbox. Some of these traits can be seen on the work of Bonewitz's apprentices, Leonard Reddy being one of these. Henry also showed examples of Bonewitz's apprentices work.
