Collaborations
| Throughout his career, Steven Hayden has
gratefully seized opportunities to work in collaboration with other artists and craftspeople. The experience of designing or creating work with others has been extremely rewarding. Not only does the collaborative process result in beautiful work, the collaboration itself keeps Steven inspired and challenged. An example of just such a collaboration, at right, is a reception desk at the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen's new headquarters in Concord, New Hampshire. (The story of the League's new headquarters can be heard on NHPR's Word of Mouth radio program) This reception desk project called "Hands at Work" was the collaborative effort of five League-juried craftspeople. Steven's copper panels are framed by Seth Keidaisch's cherry and walnut wood work and embellished by David Little's curving iron work. Above the desk, suspended from additional iron work by David Little, are Jeffrey Cooper's intricately carved depictions of skilled hands at work. Creating a soft luminescence are Peter Bloch's turned wood pendant lamp shades. The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen's headquarters is open to the public. Visit to view changing exhibits as well as work created and donated by many League members. |  |
