Peter Walker Surfboards - WOOD: art design architecture
WOOD: art design architecture explores innovative and outstanding uses of wood in contemporary Australian art, design and architecture. It is the result of a collaboration between two iconic South Australian organisations, JamFactory and the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide. Before embarking on a two-year national tour, this groundbreaking exhibition will premiere in Adelaide across two venues: JamFactory and the Santos Museum of Economic Botany. We will be sharing a series of videos produced by JamFactory for interactive Ipads that are a part of the exhibition. The content we show here will be a taste of what's on the ipads. If you have the chance, come and see this wonderful exhibition and explore the ipad content in person! We visited Peter Walker in his Thebarton workshop, where he discussed the process and techniques used to create his beautiful wooden surfboards. We hope you enjoy it.
