The Conservatory is pleased to feature the work of local artist Austin Barton. Currently, the gift shop is carrying several of Austin’s wooden bowls created from a branch of a Fig Tree in the Conservatory gardens.
Austin creates handcrafted wooden bowls and items from wood reclaimed from native trees in and around Fort Wayne, often using wood from storm-damaged trees. Austin started turning wood eight years ago after finding a lathe at a garage sale.
“I like to let the piece dictate the shape ~ as I turn the character of the wood comes out and the shape and profile is determined by what the piece reveals. I often think the beauty of my work has existed from the seed of the tree ~ I merely attempt to give shape to the beauty that has always existed within the log.”
We carry DeBrands Chocolate Thoughts available in both dark & milk chocolate for Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, Thank You’s and Mother’s Day. Just that perfect little gift to tuck in a card!
