Grapevine Art · Michael Weiss · California
Nature made the raw material.
I figure out what happens next.
Grapevine sculpture, lighting, and one-of-a-kind pieces. Handmade from the materials of Wine Country, with their twists, scars, and stories intact.

Retired grapevines / Old barrels / New possibilities
Every piece starts with a little curiosity.
01 / Grapevine art
A shape worth keeping.
Every vine has its own character. I work with its curves and unexpected forms to make sculpture and wall art that let the material speak.
02 / Lighting
Old materials. A new light.
Grapevines, barrel rings, and staves become lamps, pendants, and chandeliers—pieces with a story, even before you switch them on.
03 / One of a kind
Room for the unexpected.
Barrel art, selected furniture, and ideas that don’t fit neatly into a category. Sometimes a piece of wood suggests something I haven’t made before.

Back to making.
I’m Michael Weiss. I’ve spent forty years building things, including twenty years with Wine Country Craftsman. Grapevine Art is the next chapter: a smaller workshop and a more personal collection of work.
It’s me, the materials I love, and the shop cats and dogs keeping me company.

start with a conversation.
An unusual piece of grapevine, a space that needs something special, or an idea you can’t quite describe yet—I’d like to hear about it.
