'Focus on being a good student': Martial arts expert demonstrates his artistic side

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Joseph Thrasher spends many hours carving, cutting, and creating as a woodworker.  He's also another kind of artist.  He's a master in martial arts.  More specifically, Jiu Jitsu, also known as the "Gentle Art" in Japanese.  And for a second time, this multi-faceted artisan is showing off one of his creations at the Biennial Exhibition currently at the Plymouth Arts Center.  A practical wooden bench. The juried show is actually put on by Wisconsin Craft, a local non-profit showcasing the work of many kinds of artists across the Badger State.  In this current members-only exhibit, there are close to 70 folks demonstrating their wares.  The event itself runs through April 25^th.
