Meet the Artist: Dick Kline

This is the next installment in our "Meet the Artist" article series.

Dick Kline is one of Epiphany’s quiet heroes.  He began woodworking after high school, and has been active with the upkeep of our facilities for many years, which he now sandwiches in between his Habitat volunteering. 

Many of us are unknowing beneficiaries of his handiwork, from the wood crafts he has developed for our children at Bibletimes over the years.  Dick created the rolling bulletin boards and the kiosk in our gathering area.  He built the shelves and magazine rack in our library, the wall cabinet in the sacristy and the many "cube" pedestals that we use everywhere, for plants to participation sheets. 

He crafted the seven "patens," shallow bowls for the Eucharistic bread, and a walnut chalice base which matches their simple, graceful design.

Below are the patens and chalice that Dick created.  Individual pictures of all of Epiphany's Eucharistic vessels are available in our photo album.
