Timothy Riffle, a lifelong woodworker, decided to pursue his passion after graduating from Borromeo Seminary. While apprenticing under a German Master Carver in the European tradition, Timothy refined his skills. Currently, Timothy applies his talents creating fresh liturgical and public designs on commission while thoughtfully restoring and preserving the treasures handed down from previous craftsmen.
Studio St. Clair partners with craftsmen and architects on select projects to provide a well-rounded set of services. Timothy is currently joined in this venture by his wife, Lina Palubinskas, a metalsmith and graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art. Working with trusted designers and craftsmen, Studio St. Clair endeavors to meet its clients needs, whether it be an individual or community.
We would love to hear about your project and look forward to collaborating with you.
