Hans, early 1960’s, at work on a Christus. This figure still looks over the entrance to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Sacramento.

Hans in an advertising shot from about 1960. He designed the No. 105 lamp-base in the late 1950’s. While not in the current price list, it could still be made… in fact, Jon has one in his house that he made as a training piece years ago.

Hans and Norman through time.



 Hans, working on a baptismal font, ca. 1960. That old Delta band-saw behind him is still in service.

This and below: about 1961 Hans was commissioned by several Catholic seminarians to make their chalices. This one involves some very elaborate chasing. Other commissions for artworks came from those old friends over the years as they moved on to parishes.

Elizabeth, Hans and Norman in Hans’ home basement shop in Evanston Illinois about 1950, after Hans left Cellini Craft, and a couple years before their big move out to the “wilds” of California, as it was then popularly understood to be.
