Handcrafted Vases
We believe a handcrafted wooden vase is more than just a vessel. It is a symbol of the perfect blend of art and nature. Each piece we create reflects this belief. Our vases offer both beauty and function.
Our Artistic Vision
Our founder is Alan Adler. He is a passionate artist and craftsman. Alan holds a master’s degree in Package Design from Pratt Institute.
He spent over 30 years working in custom packaging. In 2009, he shifted his focus to woodturning. Inspired by the natural beauty of wood, Alan began creating unique handcrafted pieces. His work speaks to both art lovers and everyday collectors.
The Craftsmanship Behind Each Vase
Our handcrafted wooden vases are made using a detailed, step-by-step process. Each vase reflects dedication, skill, and artistic vision.
-
Wood Selection: We select premium woods like maple, walnut, and cherry. Each wood type offers unique grain patterns and rich colors.
-
Design and Shaping: The wood is mounted on a lathe. It is carefully shaped into a beautiful form using precise techniques.
-
Carving and Detailing: Intricate carvings and patterns are often added. We use techniques such as fluting or multi-axis turning to create detailed designs.
-
Sanding and Finishing: The vase is then sanded for a smooth finish. A natural oil or finish is applied. This protects the wood and enhances its natural beauty.
