Sherman Howard H was a talented artist and craftsman who left his mark on various mediums. One of his notable works is the Bennington Pitcher, created around 1937. This pitcher showcases Sherman's skill in pottery, with its intricate design and attention to detail. In addition to pottery, Sherman also had a knack for architectural elements. The Steps Leading to Chancel Rail and Detail of Railing at San Luis Rey Mission Church in 1936 exemplify his ability to create beautiful structures that blend seamlessly into their surroundings. But it wasn't just architecture that caught Sherman's eye; he also dabbled in textiles. His Coverlet from 1935/1942 is a testament to his talent as a weaver, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Sherman's creativity extended beyond traditional art forms as well. He crafted a Flask in 1936 that showcased both functionality and aesthetic appeal, proving that even everyday objects can be transformed into works of art under his skilled hands. Another unique creation by Sherman is the Firemans Trumpet from 1936. This trumpet not only serves its purpose but also stands out with its ornate design, showcasing Sherman's ability to combine beauty and utility. Continuing on the theme of textiles, Sherman created another masterpiece - the Woven Coverlet in 1937. Its exquisite craftsmanship highlights his dedication to preserving traditional weaving techniques while adding his own artistic flair. Sherman didn't limit himself solely to visual arts; he also explored architectural details through photography. His photographs of Pilaster and Sidewall in Church San Luis Rey Mission capture the grandeur and intricacy of this historical site. One cannot overlook Sherman's keen eye for capturing captivating doorways either. His photograph titled Shell Top Doorway at San Luis Rey Mission showcases an entrance adorned with delicate shell motifs - an example of how he could find beauty even in small details. Within San Luis Rey Mission Church, Sherman also captured the beauty of its interior.
