Carver Bob Jones Featured in Video Screening and Exhibit
Opening at The TAUNY Center on June 4
Carver Bob Jones in his workshop
Adirondack artisan Bob Jones, Cranberry Lake, has been carving for more than 50 years and making decoys professionally for decades. At the end of 2021, Tom French, a contributor to the publication Adirondack Explorer, interviewed Bob and his wife, Linda and wrote this story about them.
Soon after, Tom and his daughter, Emma, returned to the Jones’ home and studio to record him at work and learn more about the processes that go into his decoy making. The resulting short documentary film, produced by Adirondack Explorer, gives a glimpse behind the scenes of Bob's Cranberry Lake studio and shows the artistry that goes into carving and creating iconic wooden decoys.
On June 4, 1-3 p.m.,TAUNY will host a live-streamed screening of the documentary, followed by a Q&A with Bob and filmmaker Emma French, led by TAUNY Executive Director Jill Breit. The event will also be the opening reception for an exhibit of Bob’s decoys in the upper level gallery of The TAUNY Center.
The event will also be a good opportunity to learn about Adirondack Explorer and the people who make it happen. http://www.adirondackexplorer.org/

TAUNY Cooks: Sourdough Bread with Kathy Montan
Saturday, Jan 22, 2022, Noon- 3p.m., at The TAUNY Center
Photo Caption: Sourdough Bread
Kathy Montan, Pierrepont, was motivated to learn how to bake sourdough bread in the early days of the COVID pandemic when both bread and yeast were in short supply in the stores. She’s been making sourdough bread regularly since then. Kathy will share the easy process she’s developed through trial and error and will share with you what you need to know to get started in your own kitchen. Sourdough starter will be available as a take-away on a first come, first served basis.
