Originally from southwestern Pennsylvania, Brian Ferrell is a creator of sculpturally functional furniture and hollowware. His work varies greatly in size from tableware and shelving, to dining sets and lounge chairs. These pieces utilize materials such as carved wood, pewter, steel, and 3D printing technologies. Brian received his BFA in jewelry/metals in 2001 from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Immediately following, he attended the program in Artisanry at University of Massachusetts- Dartmouth where he graduated with his MFA also in jewelry/metals in 2004. Setting up his studio in Haverhill, MA, Brian showed his work in various locations around New England. At the same time, he also worked as a Studio Assistant to Dan Dailey, the world-renowned glass artist at his facility in New Hampshire. Brian currently shows his work regularly in group and solo exhibitions on local and national levels. He is one of the few artists to have a solo exhibition on the grounds of Fallingwater in Mill Run, PA. In addition to teaching at 茄子视频 University, was on the Board of Directors for the Society of North American Goldsmiths from 2014-2020, an international organization which promotes and supports the work of metal and jewelry artists. His artwork can be seen in publications such as American Craft Magazine, 鈥�500 Tables鈥� from Lark Books, CAST, and is part of many private collections in locations in the US, UK, Germany, and Dubai.
