AIDEN DALE

Aiden Dale attended Emerson Waldorf School for 12 years where he learned the value of creating new things and became intimately linked to colors and their relationships to one another. He developed a deep connection to wood, learning its grain patterns and how to form it with hand tools. This led him to pursue a higher education in art at Hampshire College where he focused on metal sculpture, woodworking, bookbinding, printmaking, portrait art and jewelry. He created a thesis show distilling down the beauty of the world around him; it also wove in human connection and the stories / visuals inherent in both. He incorporated all of these concepts into physical pieces you could sit in, hold and behold. Aiden works full time as an artist in Durham, N.C., making a living doing what he loves.
