| About Etz-Ron |
Words from the artist:I have been woodworking for over 30 years and so have been collecting beautiful woods for years, never wanting to throw away even the smallest scrap. Recycling is a big part of my work. My mosiac technique developed because of the ever growing piles of beautiful wood pieces in my shop. It was a perfect melding of purposes! The mosaic technique I developed shows off the beautiful grain of each wood type and lets you experience the different grains, patterns and colors of each different wood. And because each piece of wood is different, every creation made with Etz-Ron mosiacs is unique. Recently I have started to work with metals as well, sometimes combining them with wood, sometimes not. My favorites metals are silver, copper, and brass. Like with wood, the patterns and textures interest me, and my pieces reflect combinations of textures and materials. About the work: The beauty behind Amy's designs is that they highlight the woods' natural colors and the contrast between the colors and textures among different woods. No stains or dyes are used. Etz-Ron wooden creations add warmth and beauty to your home. Many Etz-Ron products encompass the Jewish calendar, adorning the Jewish home and enhancing the Mitzvah experience, for Shabbat and the Holidays. Her work has been displayed throughout America and is in private collections worldwide, and can be purchased in her studio store in Beer Sheva. |
