Romanian traditional crafts - Romanian handicrafts

The spoonman is a concept started and continuously developed since 2005. The main idea is to not necessary sell the traditional crafts, but the traditional stories behind them. When we enter a souvenir shop it often happens that we find a mount of crafts cramped in small places, where you can barely see the selling price. My idea is to try to make an apparent simple object valuable through its story and symbols behind the story, because i assure you that any traditional craft, no matter the country of provenance, hides behind its look some symbols and meaning. You will find some of my favourite models in the lower pictures: The luck spoon, The wisdom spoon, The good and the evil spoon, The lovers spoon, The power spoon, Maramures spoons and Transilvanian spoons You can`t find my spoons in shops mainly because i like to have a direct contact with my client because, usually, shops have sellers on the "goodlooking" basis, the most accurate term in my opinion being "silent looking", and i specially care about also giving my client the story of my object. The price of a spoon varies depending on the size and complexity. The ones on this site are between 45-50 cm and are made in willow wood, the prices being between 25-35 euros. But the same models can be made smaller (25-30 cm), the price being between 10-15 euros. (click the spoons for the stories... and visit the "spoons with stories" page for more)
