Hannie Goldgewicht
Hannie Goldgewicht grew up surrounded by natural beauty, nestled in the mountains of Costa Rica. Since childhood, her fascination with all forms of art has led her to explore every creative medium. The artist's passion for color, design, and nature has all come together with this line of simple clean forms that have the rustic feel of the earth combined with the repetitive texture of pine needles.
Each piece is first hand-thrown on a potter's wheel, then trimmed, fired, and finished with painting techniques and patinas. Then, the artist starts the weaving around the rim. The pine needles are hand-picked and cleaned, and woven with wax thread using the coil method.
Hannie Goldgewicht graduated with honors from the School of Fine Arts at the Universidad de Costa Rica, with an emphasis in sculpture. She then traveled through Europe, the Middle East, and Central and South America, observing and being influenced by different cultures. It was on a trip to Argentina that the artist first came across pine needle basketry and began learning the technique from master fiber artist Delfa Deriu. The artist currently lives in Los Angeles, where she continues to learn and experiment.

These vessels are a great addition to my home - extremely well made, intricate design and striking in color!
This is the second piece I've purchased from this artist, and I look forward to buying another! Form, color, texture, and the addition of woven pine needles add up to a great look.
I love this piece! The woven pine needles really add interest, and their natural color plays well with the vibrant deep yellow glaze. I just ordered another piece from this series!
This was my first time ordering from artful home and I was not disappointed. The primary colors vessels are exquisite!! I could not be more pleased! Beautifully crafted colors are gorgeous the weaving at the top of each vessel crowns each piece! I could not be more pleased! My thanks to the Artist Hannie Goldgewicht!
When I saw this vase I knew I had to have it so I purchased it as a 64th birthday present to myself (since my husband, bless his heart, would never think of something like this).
