Featured Artist John Brady

May Featured Artist, New River Arts and Crafts, Sparta. John Brady is a man steeped in history. A woodworking artisan for 30 years, the extraordinary pieces he creates will certainly outlive him, passed on for generations as beloved family heirlooms. His woodworking is truly "organic." John began crafting full-time after his retirement to satisfy the needs and dreams of friends and family, and the business grew naturally from those beginnings. John is devoted to woodworking and enjoys every step of transforming a a rough piece into a finished work of art. Much of the wood John uses is 75-150 years old, "recycled" from demolished barns and buldings. John prefers the superior tones of aged woods and his distinctive craftsmanship ensures that no two pieces he creates are never alike.
