Restoring Rockwood Academy Turns to Canadian Sculptor Yosef Crenters
Yosef Crenters, a Belgian-born craftsman, bought the 1883 Rockwood Academy and began restoring the stone building once tied to notable figures. He combines reconstruction with sculpture, turning the former Quaker school into a workshop and gallery for his burnt wood figures and family art.
