Leather
I started making things out of leather in 2015 as a creative outlet and as gifts for friends. I make things for people that prefer to buy unique hand-crafted bags over something mass produced in a factory on an assembly line abroad. My designs strike a balance between beauty, simplicity and versatility. They are made for years of hard use, a lifetime if cared for, and every element can be repaired and replaced.

Jeff Owen Artworks
Sculpture
My sculptures combine the past and the present.
I have a deep affinity toward the materials I work with, a wonderful sense of emotion, feelings, and dreams for what the material was once used for and now what it will become in my hands. These feelings direct me on my path.
My processes emerge with patterns. Taking one piece of steel; adding to it, deleting from it, constantly discovering the metal’s unique appeal.
Rick Waltonsmith

Rick Waltonsmith’s sculptures feel as though they have grown organically in their site. Like wind-twisted coastal trees, sea creatures, or the pattern of wind in grass, Waltonsmith captures an elemental energy and conveys it into form. His sculptures are shaped in Corten steel or bronze bars as an outline to make a non-representational shape; he then suspends “tesserae” – rough polished stainless steel, bronze and brass objects - around the linear form.

Yes wood turning is an obsession with me. Every morning I walk out to my shop and am just as exited as to what I am about to create as I was many years ago when I started wood turning. I have been a wood worker for 30 years doing cabinets, furniture and anything else I could think of out of wood.
Jeffrey Nelson
Hudson River Inlay
Wood
The creation of an exclusive Hudson River Inlay begins first with a rough sketch by the artist. The next step is to capture the essence of the subject with just a few subtle lines that convey its motion and vitality. The result is a final line drawing that serves as a blueprint for each individual piece of art.

The advent of technology has created wonderful advantages in providing access to the “information highway”. Kindle gives us an opportunity to read texts anytime, anywhere. But, as is the case with any “progress”, there will be casualties along the way. The beautiful hardback books with colorful embossing and cloth or leather bindings are now relegated to the dusty shelves of thrift stores or are dumped into landfills. My art form is one of transformation and appreciation.
Saulo Mandarin
Alebrijes
Wood
He is one of our international featured artists, he is traveling from Arrazola, in Oaxaca, Mexico to be with us and share his craft: The Alebrijes.
Alebrijes are wooden figures that are carved from a tree called Copal, the copal, at the beginning of the carving process is very soft. After the inicial shape is done, the piece is let out to dry for months, during that time, the alebrije cracks and loses weight. With a very detailed process the cracks are fixed and then the artist can do fine-tune carving and lastly, a very intricate painting that takes years to learn.
An alebrije on average takes from 6 to 18 months from start to finish.
If you ever go to Oaxaca, ask your tour guide to take to Arrazola or Tilcajete. Those are the world capitals of the alebrijes.
