Josh Vogel

Raised in New Mexico in the '70's, Joshua Vogel traveled extensively through Australia, Haiti, Europe & finally the American West, where he pursued Anthropology and Art History at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. Architecture studies followed at the University of Oregon, where Vogel also began working in earnest with wood. By the mid 90's Vogel had again relocated, this time to New York City where he worked to establish his first studio. Ultimately choosing the country lifestyle over that of the city, Joshua moved to the Hudson Valley to rediscover the basics; not only of life, but of design, woodworking & his first love - wood sculpture. Josh is the co-founder of Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co. & founder of Joshua Vogel, both of which are located in upstate NY.
