Visual Art – Houston

Heiko Weiner started his woodworking journey in Germany more than 30 years ago. His grandpa, an avid carpenter, often took him out to his own woodshop. As a result, he had the fortune of being taught the traditional European craft starting at a young age. The woodworkers he learned from at the time were making a living building toys and carving figurines. In time, he realized that successful woodworking requires mastering many different techniques. Although he does not exclusively turn wood, it is noticeable that this is something he enjoys greatly. Over the years, Heiko has succeed in creating his own, distinctive style. In his current work, he mixes styles and materials, which include other natural products, like essential oils, semi-precious stones, bone and metal. He enjoys the challenge of applying various precise techniques required for this type of work. Hence, each individual piece, regardless of size and complexity, is unique and one of a kind. His art work has been shown in many fine art shows across the country. Under the registered trademark of HWR®, Heiko serves customers worldwide, creating segmented decorative bowls, vases, wooden jewelry, and customized items for clients with an interest in a unique and one-of-a-kind decor.
