Custom Metal Design, Sculpting and Fabrication
Using all types of metal, Jamie Vaida creates contemporary organic forms that are functional or sculptural pieces of art. Keeping his clients' personal aesthetics in mind, Vaida works to understand how his designs will be used and where they will be placed.
Personality, function, and surroundings are key elements for designing and fabricating pieces that will be enjoyed for a lifetime.

Vaida's participation in the San Francisco, Oakland, Greater Bay Area and Nation wide Artist Community:
Vaida has spent many years perfecting his trade. His work showcases many types of metal such as copper and stainless steel, but he also often incorporates recycled or reused metals and found objects into his projects.
He begins simply, with discarded metal, often from a scrap yard. He looks for beauty and shape in a given piece in its raw form, then twists and bends the metal to bring out the full potential hidden within the material.
His work is reminiscent of the style promoted by Gustav Stickley during the "Arts & Crafts" movement. Born of the Industrial Revolution, Stickley encouraged a return to hancrafted designs that show the labor of the craftsman.
