Yoav S. Liberman is a studio furniture artist, an architect, and an
educator. Yoav’s training in the art of woodworking and design
began shortly after he received an architecture degree from the
Israel Institute of Technology when he was invited to two
distinguished residency programs, first at the Worcester Center for
Crafts in Massachusetts, and then as a Windgate Foundation Fellow
at Purchase College, New York. While in Boston he mentored under
Mitch Ryerson, and John Everdell. Between 2003 and 2011 Yoav headed
the woodworking program at Harvard University's Eliot House.
Yoav’s articles on furniture design and woodworking have been
published in American Woodworker and Woodwork Magazines. His pieces
had been featured in many of Lark Book’s “500 series”, in Mind &
Hand: Contemporary Studio Furniture, and recently in Robin Wood’s
CORES Recycled, by Schiffer books.
Yoav's pieces have been displayed in museums and exhibitions in
both the USA and abroad, and can be found in galleries and shops in
Cambridge MA, Piermont NY, Philadelphia PA, the Penland School of
Crafts NC, as well as in private and public collections in the
United States, Israel and England. Yoav is often invited to teach
in craft schools across the country. He lives in Chestnut Ridge NY,
and teaches woodworking at the Rudolf Steiner School in Manhattan.
