Master Craftsman Studio – wanna peak inside?
Master Craftsman Studio (MCS) is a unique university auxiliary associated with Florida State University’s Facilities Department. MCS is a self-sustaining studio whose artists are experts in bronze sculpture, stained glass, furniture construction, restoration, etc. They specialize in creating the one-of-a-kind custom art pieces throughout FSU campus such as the “Declaration” art piece at the Woodward and Gaines St. round-about, the image on the left, below.
The magnetically levitating sculpture “Maggie,” above, center) was created by the MCS, and made possible through a collaboration between FSU, City of Tallahassee and the National Maglab. The design and unique levitational feature serves to establish Tallahassee as the “Magnetic Capital of the World.” We will learn the history of MCS and the relation to FSU and the community. Get a behind the scenes look at the processes and the main studio on June 23rd at 11AM to find out more! Register here.
