Eden Mills, VT 05653

Patrick Ford-Torrani makes objects in service to everyday use. His focus is spoons and bowls for cooking and serving handmade in a heritage process of honed tools and skilled hand. He carefully harvests wood specific for each project from pruned apple branches from Eden, Vermont. The handsome textures left behind by each knife stroke reveal the story of it's creation and touch of the hand of the maker. He makes the objects for a lifetime of use in which the user begins to patina the objects with the story of their lifetime.
