Coffee Art

Recently the work of two very talented people came to our attention.  How?  Well, to tell you the truth, Priscilla saw their work, loved it, bought it and then told me we needed to offer their works to you on our web site.  Pretty prosaic beginning for our first foray into the world of coffee related art!  But these works are really wonderful.

When we first saw Julie Cefaratti's poseable sculpture figures, we knew you'd love them as much as we do, so we begged Ms. Cefaratti to allow us to offer them on our web site. Each one of a kind figure is made using baked clay and a sturdy metal wire "skeleton" to hold everything together. Plus, you can move their limbs, and they each have a unique personality. These are not mass produced. Each figure is personally sculpted by Ms. Cefaratti. There are no duplicates. The Coffee House Masquerade Figures are posable sculptures clothed with unique handmade outfits individual to each piece and finished with a few strokes of paint, and, of course, a head full of The Captain's Coffee beans. Since each figure is hand sculpted, there is some variation, but they are approximately 16-18 inches high.

Erik Mowery's coffee grinders are a wonderful combination of old fashioned hand powered mechanisms mounted in a single solid wooden base.  The base hides a glass catch-jar, so the grinder is as funcitonal as it is beautiful.  These are limited edition grinders.  Each is made by hand using a variety of tools and techniques.  The finish is hand rubbed mineral oil and beeswax--a combination that not only lets the natural beauty of the wood emerge, but protects it while being food safe as well.  The craftsmanship is exquisite.
