Art at the Winery

OOVVDA Winery offers unique items you can't find elsewhere! First we have the wine—the vintner takes care and pride in each and every wine he makes, and it is only available at OOVVDA Winery.

Second, we have added another artisan to our gift shop! Ken is my friend’s dad, and is skilled in the art of intarsia. My photos do NOT do these pieces of art justice—you really have to see them to appreciate the skill and time involved! Ken can do custom work—(we can put you in touch with him. The definition for intarsia is at the end of this blog.)

The Pheasant is about 19 inches wide and 14 inches tall

The Angel is about 9 inches wide by 12 inches tall

The Rooster is about 8 inches wide and 10 inches tall

I am so happy to be able to offer these in our gift shop.

(Intarsia is a mosaic of small pieces of wood glued together. Each piece is intricately cut using a scroll saw or band saw, painstakingly contoured to give a three dimensional look, then fitted together. Intarsia became popular in the
15th century in Italy. It was used to decorate scrolls, arabesques, architecture scenes, and flowers. The colors are the natural colors of the various varieties of the wood used. All of the woods used are domestic hardwoods. The darkest color is Black Walnut heartwood; Red Oak, Sycamore, and Cypress
tan colors; Cedar, Chinaberry, and Cherry provide the red tones; and Maple, provide the Poplar, Aspen and Ash are used for white.)
