Kim Neitzel,
Sculptor

I create handmade homeware and games locally here in Portland. I mix an eco-resin material (liquid + powder component) by hand, create and mix in my own custom colors, and utilize different techniques to achieve different patterns in my products. It then goes through a casting process, then is sand and sealed by hand. This material is considered more eco-friendly because it is non-toxic and is more sustainably sourced vs other resin/concrete products. I make a variety of products - chess boards, candle holders, bookends, coasters, trays, planters, jewelry dishes, brush holders, dominos and other decorative pieces.
