Bio:

Artist Statement:

After 30 years as a high school educator, Jay’s life-long dream of spending more time in the woodshop making “Man Glitter” (sawdust) has finally come to fruition!

Woodworking runs deep in his family heritage, so it came naturally, even as a kid, to create all kinds of items out of wood. As he has aged, his simple weekend woodworking projects extended into lengthier, more complex craftsmanship. Today, he gets to spend his days creating unique, one-of-a-kind crafted, hardwood pieces that not only accent any room in your home but are also practical for everyday use.

Jay has the knack and experience for creating durable, wooden-wares such as charcuterie & cutting boards, coasters, Lazy Susans, small furniture pieces, quilt hangers, photo-boxes, and picture frames.

Jay welcomes custom orders and can personalize a piece just for you! As Jay says, “Less slivers; more glitter!”
