The Fritts Stanford Organ "is one of the three organs in the Memorial Church at Stanford University.
Its carvings, crafted by Jude Fritts, were inspired by a motif from a toy she had
as a child. The images include the moon, stars, sun, a storm
depicted by a cloud exhaling, sea monsters in gold leaf. "

About Jude FrittsSee Jude's Resume in Photos...Jude Fritts is a woodcarving artist with twenty six years of experience working in a wide variety of styles and woods. Jude's custom carving includes carved doors and panels, wall art, carved ornament, and sculpture. Jude has designed and carved large scale pipe shade carvings for organs built by Paul Fritts & Company Organ Builders, Charles M. Ruggles Pipe Organs, Rosales Pipe Organ Services and Schlicker Organ Co. She is currently working on carvings for the new pipe organ at St. Philip Presbyterian Church in Houston, TX, which will be delivered January 2010. Jude has created designs ranging from renaissance to contemporary and has worked in oak, Douglas fir, cherry, Honduran mahogany, western red cedar and basswood. Individual works vary in size from 5 to 65 panels totaling 12 to 250 square feet of carving. Carvings for an organ typically take a year to complete. Large organs, like The Gottfried and Mary Fuchs Organ for Pacific Lutheran University, have taken more than two years. Small organs may require only three months.
