Peter Schlech is an award-winning craftsman known for his unique style. He found a passion for the art of woodworking in the design and construction of studio furniture. Inspired by the world around him, Peter started making multi-purpose boxes with some beautifully esthetic designs. In the past few years, his focus has narrowed from furniture to small sculptural work.. Peter’s latest discovery in art has been his original sculptural series. Shown in some of the best galleries around the country, Peter’s work has received a wonderful response for its unique designs and elegance. This work is fresh, and it stands out nicely from turned and carved wood.
