| About Etz-Ron |
Words from the artist:I have been woodworking for over 30 years and my collection of beautiful wood bits continues to grow. I never want to throw away even the smallest scrap. Re-purposing is a big part of my work. My mosiac technique developed in part because of the ever growing piles of beautiful wood bits in my shop. It gives me a way to share the beauty of wood with you! 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 and one of a kind. Recently I have started to work with metals as well, sometimes combining them with wood, sometimes not. Like with wood, the patterns and textures interest me, and my pieces reflect combinations of textures and materials. You will also see more turned objects and carving and pyrography as well. About the work: The beauty behind my designs is that they highlight the woods' natural colors and the contrasts between the colors and textures among the 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. My work has been displayed throughout America and is in private collections worldwide, and can be purchased on line or at my studio store in Beer Sheva. |
