FRESHLY MADE is an annual group exhibition featuring independently driven work of the summer interns and designers at Studio DUNN. Hosted by Keeseh Studio Woodshop and the 42 Rice Street Gallery in Providence, this year’s theme, Out On a Limb represented the afterwork hours, personal initiative, and fresh ideas put forth by Topher Gent, Kate Golden, Steven Greco, Andrew Mau, Beth Soucy, Coby Unger and Emily Woratzeck. We had a wonderful attendance of friends, faculty, and family. Studio DUNN would like to thank the interns (who are featured below) for a wonderful and productive summer! We enjoyed every minute with you guys!

ELIZABETH SOUCY
In addition to an uncanny ability to keep dying bonfires ablaze, Beth excels at continually offering fresh ideas, juggling family time throughout Southern New England and earning a Brown University / Rhode Island School of Design dual degree! (How does she do it?!) If you are keen to chat about the environment and design, you can find her at Bagel Gourmet Olé or relaxing in her apartment on historic Benefit Street, where she designed her ‘gahgess’ (gorgeous) collection of furniture inspired by her trip to Brussels.
CHRISTOPHER GENT
Known for his artist vs. designer vs. maker conflict, we were delighted to uncover (on our surprise orientation day bowling excursion) Topher’s history as a competitive bowler. Topher occupied his hot summer days at Studio DUNN, executing commissioned work, and monitoring at the Providence Steelyard. McDonalds in hand and sporting his Rhode Island vanity plate ‘TOPHR,’ this robin-hood-type character loves slow-roasting marshmallows to perfection. He graciously reminds everyone that there’s nothing better than a good s’more.
KATE GOLDEN
If Kate isn’t bombing hills on her bi-cycled beaut, she’s daydreaming about dovetails or sitting blissfully in windsor chairs. Our tablesaw-loving, embroidery gypsy, not only claims to know every city in the state of NY, of which she originates, but secretly lives her daily life aspiring to be the greatest computer modeler in North America. Known to some of us as “The golden girl,” Kate is dedicated to her work, and will not rest until she has achieved the goals she has set out to achieve.
COBY UNGER
“Again!?” You may exclaim, as you remember Coby as one of last summer’s interns. Half intern, half businessman – this summer, Coby was learning more design and fabrication with Studio DUNN and simultaneously developing, making, marketing, and selling his own line of wood sunglasses under the name ‘Arborglass.’ It seems he’s mildly obsessed with us (and pumpkin pie), and we admittedly can’t deny our feelings either.
