Upcycling Eco-Art Design

I advocate for the environment, nature and sustainability by design through my eco-art and furniture. I reclaim, repurpose and upcycle wood, metal and glass into furniture, art and complete interior designs. Material qualities, handmade crafting and unique finishes infuse each piece with stimulating energetic intensity. Upcycling is achieved by repurposing the materials into objects with higher end use value that will endure and inspire for centuries.

Beautiful work!  It's refreshing to see work that doesn't look like recycled wood but purposeful and stunning in it's own right regardless of being recycled.

Hi, I like what you are doing, I also do Green art furniture +, I do a lot of Folk Art and some painting. I have been doing Green before there was a Green.

Hi Michael,

Please look at our current calls for Crafthaus artists:

Earthly Pleasures http://crafthaus.ning.com/group/crafthausexhibition/forum/topics/open-call-earthly-pleasures

Our purpose in curating shows is to promote good artwork. We try to make the process as painless as possible.

A show at Crafthaus has more of an audience then a gallery, it offers a permanent stage. We do love gallery shows, but here at Crafthaus submission is easy, doesn't cost anything for members.

If you have any questions please let us know.
Glen & Marie

Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!
