What kind of “magic” do the Wild Wood artists offer? One that is grounded firmly in the earth and its precious resources - clay, fibers, metals, woods, and savory flavors... Join us in a virtual – or real – flight to a place where good taste can satisfy all five senses, a place where affordability, adventure and delight are shaken, not stirred...
WOOD: In the steady skillful hands of the Zapotec woodcarvers a mix of imagination, humor, and insight crystalize into wooden sculptures. Smooth or textured, huge or tiny, these art works invite us into the minds and culture of an ancient world. We work with 60 Oaxacan families who use copal wood and other found materials to delight and amaze us.
WOOL: Weavers by trade for more than 2000 years, Zapotecs Indians were introduced to wool by the Spanish only 500 years ago. They create 100% wool, double sided tapestry weave rugs and wall-hangings. We specialize in unique designs and custom sizes.
Wild Wood also has extensive holdings in Persian and Oriental rugs - visit the Wild Wood e-Rug store today!
OTHER MATERIALS: Hand-hammered copper, pottery, clay sculptures, basketry, hand-knotted rugs, hand-woven silk scarves, molas and big pink flamingos!
