Dale Faulstich

Dale Faulstich is an artist and woodcarver. Faulstich has a strong background and intense interest in the art forms of the Northwest Coast Native American people. "I was wood carving for a living and one thing led to another. The more I got into it the more excited I became." His home and studio are located on the North Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. As a non-native, working in a native tradition, Dale enjoys a unique relationship with the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe of Sequim, WA. He continues to collaborate on various Tribal projects and he assists Tribal members in designing and carving traditional objects. He also teaches an ongoing series of classes. In addition to creating masks, totem poles, steam bent boxes, animal form bowls, rattles, drums and ceremonial objects, carved doors, wall panels, furniture and other contemporary applications, Dale's designs have also been incorporated in jewelry design. All productions are custom designed, well researched, and fabricated employing the highest quality materials and workmanship.
