Metal Vessels

The vast bulk of my professional work as an artist metalsmith is the creation of decorative vessels. In my mind they divide up into 3 main categories. The first is what I just think of as vessels. These are the majority of what I do and encompass a fairly wide range of forms. Next are the teapots, a form artists have enjoyed playing with for ages. Finally there are what I call my figurative lidded vessels. As the name implies the lids of these have been shaped into the human form.

When I started this website I had to consider how it would relate with the many galleries around the country that represent my work. They work hard to connect my work with buying clients and providing me with the bulk of my income. I want my galleries to feel comfortable sending interested parties to this site to learn more about me and my work and not lose their well earned commission. Therefor, I've chosen to not offer a shopping cart or provide prices, which might then set me up to compete with my galleries.

I realize, however, that people do come here to see what might be available, and there might not be a gallery in your region that shows my work. I certainly don't wish to make you hurdle a bunch of obstacles to acquire my art either. So I've made a section of this album that has work which is currently available. If it is at a gallery (which is most often the case) I will note where it is and the gallery's name will be a link to their website. You can also always contact me to inquire about work. I'd be more than happy to help you out or answer questions. If you do contact me directly but have been directed here by one of my galleries please let me know that too so I can give them their proper credit. I'd appreciate it.

You can email me at: huang @ davidhuang . org (Be sure to remove the spaces in the preceding address. I'm told posting an email address this way helps to stop spam web bots from picking it up and further clogging my inbox!)

Though I'll try to keep things up to date, availability and location of work is always subject to change without notice.
