Vintage antique wood carving entitled Sigurd Pulling the Sword from Braudstock by Karl von Rydingsvärd
Karl Arthur von Rydingsvärd (1863 – 1941) was a highly influential teacher who spread the very important ideal that everyone could carve wood and turn it into useful household furnishings. He taught at Columbia: the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences; the Rhode Island School of Design; the Worcester Art Museum; the Troy School of Arts and Crafts, and the Massachusetts Normal Art School. Additionally he ran summer woodworking classes from his home near Brunswick, Maine; taught the Volk family how to carve at Hewnoaks, Maine; trained teachers to rehabilitate World War I veterans; and advised the New York Hospital about the role of craftwork in correcting nervous disorders and other mental dysfunctions.
