The Jurors

Jere Osgood

Jere Osgood’s work has been exhibited widely and is represented in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the American Craft Museum in New York, the Johnson Collection (Objects USA), the Renwick Collection of the Smithsonian Institution and the Currier Gallery in Manchester New Hampshire. He has had his own studio since 1957, and has been named a Fellow of the American Crafts Council for his outstanding contributions to the field. Osgood says that while his interest includes all periods of furniture, his approach to his own furniture making relies less on tradition than on self-expression. A graduate of the School of American Craftsmen at the Rochester Institute of Technology, Osgood also studied in Denmark. His teaching credits include his alma mater and the Program in Artisanry at Boston University. He has written for Fine Woodworking Magazine, Home Furniture, and his work has been published in American Craft Magazine. Osgood works full time in his studio in Wilton, New Hampshire doing commissions and occasional exhibition pieces.
