There is a lot of bio info on Mr. Peiser available online: this is just a shot blurb!
Penland, North Carolina, United States. Mark Peiser started his career as an industrial designer, but after working briefly in Chicago he left his job to study at Penland School of Crafts. We know he opened littles forges in multiple places where he moved about in the coastal ares of NC and SC, and his worked has evolved into high neo-modern abstract sculpture now that sells for 1000s.
