Lorna Kollmeyer Ornamental Plaster, Hunter's Point, SF, Bonnie Spindler, The Victorian Specialist

Bonnie Spindler visits historic Hunter's Point Shipyard which is being used as an artist community. Lorna Kollmeyer took over a small ornamental plaster business and turned it into one of the largest repositories of plaster molds in the country. Dating from the 1840s until the 1950s, Kollmeyer has created an essential resource for anyone attempting to restore their property. Kollmeyer, like so many other artists in the Bay Area, is stressed for square footage in which to affordably run their businesses. Without the largess of the Shipyard warehouses, Kollmeyer would have a difficult time storing and making the molds essential to her business. In addition, without finding a young person, interested in continuing the work and business she has started, this entire resource may disappear. Watch Kollmeyer make a plaster ceiling medallion from scratch and reveal a finished piece from the rubber mold she created. Spindler also covers the history of the Hunter's Point Shipyard, from its being the location chosen by Theodore Roosevelt for maintaining the "Great White Fleet" that traveled around the globe from 1907 to 1922 to the clean- up-sight for Bikini Atoll nuclear testing ships and the Hiroshima bomb planes to a Superfund-toxic-cleanup-sight to today's new housing construction; the shipyard has seen a lot of changes.
