The mule deer intarsia is done! An equipment problem in the Craft Center's woodshop had delayed the project, the centerpiece of the exhibition Odocoileus hemionus in the Craft Center Gallery.
Catherine Yasuda, student manager of the woodshop, created the mule deer intarsia, a mosaiclike work of pieces of wood that appear to be inlaid, but in fact fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Yasuda's exhibition also features hand-shaped, mule deer hoofprints from more than 150 species of wood.
The exhibition had been scheduled to close Oct. 30, but has been extended through but has been extended through the weekend (Oct. 31 and Nov. 1), to give people more time to see the centerpiece. The Craft Center and gallery are in the South Silo. Hours: 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.
