Handwork at the Hermitage: A National Collaboration with Craft in America

The Hermitage Museum & Gardens (Norfolk, Virginia) presents Handwork at the Hermitage, an exhibit to highlight the handwork that shaped the site.

Many woodcarvers, such as Charles J. Woodsend (1847–1927) and Karl von Rydingsvärd (1863–1941), contributed distinctive styles and features that continue to define the site a century later.

Handwork at the Hermitage honors their craftsmanship and their work within the scope of America’s rich woodcarving traditions.
