My workshop is located in Ledyard Connecticut (just north of Old Mystic). Not only do I make furniture and lighting, but also any structure for the home and garden.

I do not use a set of molds or forms, and every piece I make is a one of a kind scuplture. The shapes are created by welding and bending steel to form strong armatures to which layers of concrete are applied and manipulated. Ever finer details and textures are added with simple tools. The work must be completed before the concrete hardens. 

Many of the techniques I use are traditional, and others may be unique to my practice. I pay special attention to preparing the steel so as to prevent rust, which is the primary weakness of most of the antiques that are still available. The concrete mixes I use are proprietary blends that I have developed over the years to provide just the right balance of strength and workability.
