Deer Run Studio

My name is Mark Donham the sole craftsman at Deer Run Studio. I call it Deer Run because the place sits on a country corner at Catlin Rd and Deer Run Rd in Parke County Indiana. The studio is in an old church  built in 1852. The huge cast iron bell still rings from time to time  in the steeple.

My background includes a Bachelor of Fine Art from Indiana State University  in 1983 and a Masters of Fine Art from Arizona State University in 1987. Both degrees had an emphasis in wood sculpture and furniture design

My Shop/Studio

The old church building above was aquired by me in December of 2005. The interior is now a 2000 sq. ft. woodshop. A nice country setting with lots of wood everywhere.

 At right are examples of other woodwork I enjoy doing. The fish is out of cherry wood about 2 feet long.

The dog is assembled from mahogany and maple about 2 1/2 feet high.
