Andrew Ciminelli
I began to learn woodworking in college. I graduated from University of the Pacific with a Bachelors Degree in Studio Arts, emphasizing in Photography and Sculpture. During my time in school, I explored different approaches to photography and sculpture. I focused on merging the two mediums using mathematics in order to transition work from two dimensional to three dimensional. My studies became the foundation of my interest in woodworking. I enjoyed working with wood in practical applications and in building art. I am able to be precise and produce high quality enduring products that are beautiful. After college, I continued to develop my skills while I worked for a reputable woodworking company located in Lodi, CA.
Outside of my formal studies, I have a great appreciation for the outdoors, which has encouraged my interest in woodworking, with wood being one of Earth’s natural resources. I am a lifelong learner and look forward to continue to explore the world and my work.
When I am not in my workshop, you can find me out fishing, playing my guitar, or hiking and camping with my Wife and two dogs, Nugget and Butter.
