Each piece starts from native Birch wood, which is found in Western Ukraine. The Birch is rough cut to smaller blocks. The Birch Block is then put on a lathe and turned to a smooth cylinder. Then each of the Birch cylinders are turned by skilled craftsman into boxes, candlesticks, Pysanky and many other items. No high tech, computerized milling equipment here. Only old world craftsmanship. The final most important stage of the work is the painting itself which is done with oil colors by professional artists. Sapfir currently employs about 15 artists. Each one with their own style and flair. Their imagination has no limitation, therefore the number of ornamental designs can really be unlimited. Each artist takes authorship of their work and each is signed and dated. |
