Creston artist Richard Tetz, a millwright/machinist by trade, worked for Columbia Brewery for over thirty years. Fabricating metal pieces at work was common, and he enjoyed creating smaller retirement gifts for co-workers. Richard’s piece Ale Lien (inspired by his grandson) was purchased by the Creston Valley Arts Society and is now on display on Canyon Street in Creston. After retiring in 2014, Richard is enjoying creating art for friends, and family and himself.
