About Smith Creek Studio

We are craftsmen working in wood, ceramics and paint. We both grew up in DYI families. I began by making paper hats and selling them to friends and family when I was 5 years old. I had my first sewing machine at 6. Lew took up photography in high school and even worked at a local Arlington VA paper developing film. Lew and his dad often built projects in their small, but good woodworking shop. They both are engineers and bring their talents to designing and constructing well, thought out wood products, as seen in Lew’s sliding table soap cutter. After many years living in Atlanta, we have retired and moved to a small town on the inner banks of North Carolina. We now have time to fill our days designing and creating. In our spare time we spend time sailing and with our dogs. We are busier than ever!
