Creative Woodworking

Transforming beautiful pieces of natural wood and other found objects into functional art for Ashville, NC and the surrounding areas.

"It had that irregular and intimate quality of things made entirely by the human hand."

-- Willa Cather

My work can now be seen at the Marquee Gallery in the River Arts District in Asheville and The Lucy Clark Gallery in Brevard.

The Artist

Larry Ricci

Outside of woodworking, I have been an educator for more than 40 years as a teacher, an administrator, and an adjunct professor. Working with wood has always been a hobby and has now blossomed into a full-time passion. I love finding rough cut lumber and making them into unique pieces that can be used and appreciated for their beauty. Each item is built with an emotional connection and is carefully hand crafted with users in mind.
