WoodBern

A passionate and creative family of artists, a Bulgarian restaurant located in the middle of a forest and ‘Lester Freamon’ a character from the crime drama serie ‘The Wire’ were the ingredients that lead me to embark myself into the universe of woodcarving.

For many years, my family has been creating art, whether it is jewelry from recycled materials, immortalizing moments with photography, creating iron and metal structures, deforming glass bottles and giving shape to ceramic pieces amongst other stuff. This foundation made me feel comfortable when I started being curious about woodcarving.

At first my aunt gave me some poor quality tools and a block of pinewood harder than a stone with which I started practicing. Months later I found Tallamadera, a workshop in Ripollet, a city 20 min from Barcelona, where Jordan teached me the basic techniques and tools.

After 2 months at Tallamadera I  started trying my own ideas and gaining experience and confidence. I started carving my first pendants, key holders, candle holders anb by time I realised I could combine as well both my passion for woodcarving and Hip Hop.
