Crafting Religion: A Public Workshop in Memory of Nancy Hiller

from September 27, 2025

The Center for Religion and the Human hosted a public workshop in memory of IU Religious Studies Alum and nationally renowned woodworker Nancy Hiller. The workshop included talks, conversations, and demonstrations and resulted in a review essay on Hiller’s book The Hoosier Cabinet published in the CRH affiliated journal American Religion.

Featured woodworkers included Audi + Ivy of SIOSI Design in Bloomington, Geoffrey Keating of Keating Woodworking in Colorado Springs, and Derek Nelson from Wabash College.
