Bowls, furniture, carved art
Hi, my name is Elizabeth and Icosa Woodworks is a one-woman shop run by me in Seattle, WA.
I have always loved wooden objects, and I look for ways to add vibrancy and movement to the things I create. I like to use color and shapes in all of my products, which includes bowls, boxes, and spoons.
As a civil engineer by trade, I love crafting things that are both unique and timeless. I especially love the problem-solving that woodworking presents.
The name Icosa comes from icosahedron, a twenty-sided polyhedron that is used in Plato's philosophy to represent water. With my background being tied to water resources, Icosa ties into a lot of what I love: math and water.

Art represents a part of the artist and their pieces a reflection of themselves. Past experiences influence ones present. Others’ influence may emerge in your work, but try to think of how you make the piece unique. I sometimes attach a story to my pieces. This storytelling lives not only in the finished product, but also the turning process.
