STUDIO TOUR
"My lifelong work as a sculptor and three-dimensional artist varies greatly.
I have carved since the day I turned 6 and bought my first real knife with my own money. Working as a granite sculptor has been my full-time profession for over 20 years, preserving the methods and craft of the family and Master Sculptors who apprenticed me.
STUDIO TOUR
Maintaining a studio practice for over forty years, I make art that gives viewers an experience for looking and a sense of the physical. As we move into a more virtual world, “tactile” will become increasingly important in our lives.
STUDIO TOUR
We, Maria and Manfred Kasprzok, have turned woodworking from a hobby into a business fueled by passion for natural materials and high-quality products. Together, we create custom handmade artwork that is not only well-made and beautiful, but also functional.
STUDIO TOUR
Watercolor patchwork is my unique process where I have built the background surface of my artwork through the layering colors and incorporating textural materials to enhance the surface quality.
STUDIO TOUR
My name is Heike and I am a clay artist living in the United States since 2008. I’m originally from Germany; therefore, my designs are influenced and representative of both a variety of European cultures and contemporary American culture.
