Indian River Workshop




Brent Freed of Indian River Workshop crafts birds and fish out of driftwood and burls. His first love for his craft is the hunt and harvesting for the raw materials. Using nature's leftovers, Red and White Cedar Driftwood, he takes to the Hill Country of Texas and the rivers' edges of Northern Michigan. It is there that Brent's creative eye sees things others might not. Once back at his shop, intuition takes over and with strokes of the saw and turns of the sander, nature's leftovers are given new life in the form of ducks, swans, eagles, falcons and fish. As lamps, wall decor or table top pieces, each is one of a kind.
