Andreas Krätschmer

My wood-turning practice is rooted in a deep appreciation for the tradition of crafts, the cultural history of artifacts and our human interaction with nature.

Through my work I tell stories of fragility, strength and resilience.

The fragility and resilience of our forests and the strength of the material wood itself teaches us about our own human psyche. There is beauty in cracks, imperfections and fragility. Once we embrace this, we can stand cam and strong.
