Dan Paret

Working in a small basement shop in North Cambridge, MA, Dan makes functional and decorative objects, mostly of wood, much of it painted. When he is not teaching Japanese Woodblock Printmaking or Wood Carving with Small Tools, Dan is in his shop carving and printing or out walking. Dan is happiest when he is teaching, which he has been doing for 25 years. In his classes he attempts to create an environment that is both challenging and supportive, with equal measures of seriousness and levity. You can see a sampling of his work at planesimplebox.com.
