David Webster was fortunate to have attended the Shelburne Craft School during grades five through eight as part of the Shelburne public school curriculum in the late 1960s. In addition to classes in the visual arts and woodworking (the black chest in the photograph was a seventh grade project), he was let loose to learn silk screen printing and enameling on copper and enrolled in an adult night class in silversmithing. These explorations taught him the value of craft for both the process and the product. He has an M.A. in material cultural, an interest which was in part the result of exposure to the creation of functional decorative arts at the Craft School. He is an accountant at A.M. Peisch & Co., LLP and serves on the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association board and the Shelburne Historic Preservation & Design Review Commission. He has been a Justice of the Peace for thirty-six years.
