Studio Sanctuaries - Part 3
Few things are more important to an artist than their workspaces. Part sanctuary, part workshop, part hang-out. This exhibit honors our studio spaces where we spend most of our time. Take a peek inside the third edition.http://crafthaus.ning.com/group/studio-sanctuaries-part-3See More

- I am a .... Example: Student, Maker, Educator, etc.
- I am a one man studio woodworker. I work in a variety of scales and types of work with wood but mostly studio furniture. My work is typically sold through art galleries but I also do commission work as well.
I typically work with hardwoods of exceptional figure and character. Aside from furniture I also make unique jewelry furnishings and boxes and I turn wood and create sculptural forms. I was the 2007 NICHE Award winner for Turned Wood.
Should any jewelry artists at Crafhaus know of clients in need of unique Jewelry furnishings or boxes I would welcome referals or work with you in collaboration.

"Behind the Brooch"
I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!
