in Manchester, Brooks earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts and
Master of Fine Arts at the Rochester Institute of Technology
in New York. Since then, he has taught and lectured widely
at institutions as varied as the Penland School of Crafts
in North Carolina, the University of Tasmania, and the Haystack
School of Crafts in Maine. A leading figure in New Hampshire's

whimsy. Examples of his work may  be

National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., the American
Craft Museum in New York City, the Queen Victoria Museum in
Launceston, Tasmania, and at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
