Quest for Quality - Jorge Kurczyn de HSK

Jorge Kurczyn de Hacienda Santa Klara (HSK) is not a mass producer of furniture. Each piece has its own character and is handmade by the "maestro", specializing in each category of furniture for your home. Maestro is the Spanish word given to the master craftsman who has earn the title through demonstration of his craft and is in charge of the process from start to finish as each piece comes to life. The process of manufacturing goes though a 4 step process to insure each piece will become a treasure lasting for generations. Concept and design You can work with their design team to come up with the concept that fits your home and need. They will help you develop just the right item or a complete collection to fill your home, with attention to detail on the wood, color, hardware and finishes. Construction Based on the item to be built, the designer and maestro will take control of your project and after careful review of the design; the item will start to come alive. The greatest attention to every detail is paid to each item to assure our high standards of quality are met with each step of the process. Once the assembly has been done, the item is hand sanded to a flawless finish for preparation of the color. To obtain the proper color or staining, usually 4-5 different colors are used to get just the right color, with the multi-phase air and machine assisted drying to give it the final color or tone. Blacksmith Then their blacksmith will make the hardware for each piece, paying special attention to the design and size of that item. The smithing of their hardware is a big part of what makes each of their pieces one of a kind and unique. It is very meticulously matched to each piece not only by scaling it to the overall size of the furniture, but by paying special attention to textures and finishes. Finishing At this point in the process, the finishing group will apply several lasting treatments to protect the wood from damaging elements and your keepsake will be as beautiful for many years as the day you placed it in your home. These finishes are all imported from Europe and have been used for generations in the manufacture of fine furniture.

Style Search - Local Artist, Pamela Johnson

Hello, my name is Erin! I am an Interior Designer and the newest member to Robin Bond Interiors. Thank you for visiting our site! I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself as well as share a well-known Texas artist. While I have started working with Robin Bond Interiors, I have had the great pleasure of meeting many delightful people. One of these individuals is Carol Meyer, the owner of FASTFRAME & The Westlake Gallery. Carol is absolutely lovely! This Thursday, May 3^rd, Carol is hosting an Artist Reception to showcase work by the local artist Pamela Johnson. After moving to, Pamela founded Westbank Gallery in 1991 where she began as a storefront gallery showcasing Texas artists. Westbank Gallery now serves as a ‘highly successful art resource, art design planning and consulting service working on site for corporate customers.’

'I am a mixed media artist, and some of my favorite mediums are collages and paintings based on regional imagery. I am also a student of history, and I was very inspired after traveling to Europe and the Middle East by the mosaic work I saw there, which has lead me to begin work in this medium. I also paint in oil, pastel, watercolor and acrylic. I have a diverse body of work including contemporary abstracts, classically inspired paintings, landscapes, photography, ceramics and sculpture. I like to frequently change up my approach to art.' I am currently working on a series of contemporary paintings based on my travels down the western coast of Mexico, Italy, Greece and Turkey. I am dedicated to the idea that art helps heal and restore the body and the soul.' –Pamela Johnson-

I hope to see you at the reception! FASTFRAME & The Westlake Gallery 701 South Capital of Texas HWY Suite D460 Austin, Texas 78746 May 3^rd, 2012 @ 5:30-8:30pm
