HOME The Traveler’s Atelier

oneTree 2017 – 16 Nov 2017 to 31 Jan 2018

In 2016, a century old walnut tree located at 1006 St. Charles Street in Victoria, BC had to be taken down for safety reasons. The Robert Bateman Centre and Live Edge Design once again partnered to create the innovative oneTree Exhibit celebrating the life of a single tree trough the beauty of art. Fifty-three artisans responded to the call-up to give a new life to a magnificent walnut tree by creating inspired objects – from wood turning bowl, hand crafted sculptures, musical instruments, gnome house, furnitures, desks to dining room tables.

Other Materials
3 sets of “Brusso” Butt hinges, Brass escutcheon, Rare magnets

The inspiration for this project is based on Thomas Jefferson’s Campaign Writing Desk which features hinged writing boards and a locking drawer.

The Traveler’s Atelier is not meant to be a reproduction. It is a tribute to the nature beauty of an old Victoria walnut tree. It addresses today’s artists needs for calligraphy, watercolour and drawing, to name a few.
