| Gudrun Onkels learned the skill of furniture
making in Germany, at the master shop of a fine furniture maker, starting
in 1986. Upon her graduation, she was honored as one of the three
best students of the city, and her piece was exhibited in the old
Aachen "Rathaushalle". After working in a co-op in southern
Germany, building interior projects, she started her journeyship as
a craftswoman, a tradition that is rooted in the guild's beginnings
of the 1500's.. She travelled as far as Siberia (1994) where she stayed
for 7 month working with carpenters on the restoration of an old wooden
church, building furniture and carving a wooden sculpture for a local
school in Irkutsk. After her 5 years of travelling in this traditional
way, she decided to come to Seattle. She has worked independently
in Seattle since 2000. |
