Driftwood and Iron 

Steve and Carol Bryant

Steve Bryant started sculpting with Driftwood making Birdhouses, Feeders, Benches, and Sculptures in 2001. Steve brought into the mix Metal Art and Blacksmithing in 2005 combining the earth elements of driftwood and metal and stone to provide truly unique driftwood art.

They create driftwood garden furniture and driftwood yard art using mostly recycled materials - Driftwood, Glass, Metal and Stone to form truly unique pieces of art sculpture for your home.

a Driftwood Dream 

Weathered and windswept driftwood reminds one of walks along a breezy shoreline, the wind swirling below an azure sky, being one with nature and ages gone by. Tina's driftwood is uniquely whimsical.

Inspired by the natural beauty of driftwood, Tina gathers from the beaches and lake shores of the Northwest. She combines the driftwood with resin clay to create these wonderful art works that are sure to appeal to driftwood collectors.

The clay is a two part epoxy that is adhered and blended into the surface of the wood to form faces and details.

Most of the wood is left in its natural state, allowing the shape and texture of the driftwood to guide the creation of each sculpture. Some pieces are exquisitely painted and others are left unpainted, or a combination of both.

The driftwood art of Tina from A Driftwood Dream covers many genres... Fantasy, Folk Art, Mythology, Americana, Native American and Seasonal subjects such as Old World Santas.

Jim Wright - Carving Driftwood 

drift wood art

Jim Wright's talent lies in being able to see the face in a piece of driftwood before he begins to carve. Not only does Jim carve driftwood, he also carves logs in-the-round, or 3 dimensional. But because no two pieces are the same, Jim's passion is relief carving in found driftwood.

Driftwood Horses 

by Heather Jansch

The strongest one, water, that cuts deep ridges into rocks without using a sharp knife or metal, washes over driftwood, caressing it, molding it, to ageless beauty.

Heather Jansch creates life-size driftwood sculpture or oak statues. She lives and works in the beautiful Westcountry of England. Visitors to her gallery and studio are welcome throughout the year by appointment.

Signed limited edition prints of most images on her site are available.

Driftwood Horses Video 

A Horse With No Name

Montage` by LadyHawk Music by America Song: A Horse With No Name Comments and ratings are always welcomed and much appreciated, of course. ;-) This video features the amazing equine driftwood sculpture of Heather Jansch from Westcountry, England. She also creates other animals figures from driftwood, all of which can be viewed on her website at: http://www.jansch.freeserve.co.uk/index.htm I created this montage on a whim over the weekend, and it all came together quite easily and effortlessly, which is always such an delight when it happens that way. The song and the images make for odd bedfellows, but strangely enough, it actually works! If you listen closely to the lyrics, there are some very humorous...shall I can them, 'little coincidences'...that pop up at the most unexpected moments. For instance, there is a line in the song that goes, "The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz..." Well, horses are notorious fly magnets, and that little coincidence gave me pause for a few moment's giggle and a smile. Created all in good fun and fanciful spirits; I hope you enjoy watching as much as I have had making it.

Driftwood Tables 

Artist Carl Woodland creates driftwood gallery furniture and driftwood hospitality.



Shoreline Furniture is extremely tactile and evokes the weathered, windswept feel of the British shoreline. Each item of furniture is as original as the materials that created it, so individuality is guaranteed. Martin is constantly developing new design concepts that are added to the range. These driftwood coffee tables would look wonderful outdoors, but equally enchanting in a cottage or cabin.

Al Rollings 

"Al Rollings discovered Lake Michigan driftwood as a natural medium for his creations. Al allows the driftwood to impressionistically suggest the body of the work as it morphs to a realistic head. His work is an impressionistic feast for the imagination.

Al's original interest in species of Michigan to the Florida flyway has expanded to include wild birds and fish across North America." Source
