The enthusiasm he shows in every piece of raw material shows his vision for what it will be than rather what it is.
I have purchased several pieces which I have given as gifts and several I have received as gifts from Andy and Pat, but none more special than the most recent gift for our wedding vow renewal ceremony.
This unbelievable vessel done in Bleached Box Elder now sits with my Lenox collection and with it's fine craftsmanship, it appears to be porcelain but it is far more precious than that. It was made with care, devotation, and love and it will be forever cherished in our hearts and home.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us and everyone who has the privilege of experiencing it.

2 box elder hollow-form vases, 1 walnut vase, 2 sugar maple hollow-form vases and 1 maple bowl.
We've had the priviledge of a full demonstration by Andy and I have to say, he loves his craft and by the pieces he turns out, you can say he has hands of gold. Each piece is truly a beautiful work of art and magnificently crafted. | | | | | |

The development of his craft, from turning beautiful pens, to breathtaking vases that astound the naked eye, has all come about at record paces.
As a soon-to-be, first-time home buyer, there are things of decor that one acquires in the years and months leading up to such purchase, that create excitement and anticipation about how that new home will look. With the few pieces I already have, and the many more to attain in years to come, the rooms of my home will assuredly breathe the character and artistic excellence of Andy's work.
I am proud owner of Andy DiPietro's amazing work, and am even more proud to call him my uncle.

My wife Helen and I are enjoying the Curly Maple Vessel we purchased in 2007 at the "Works In Wood Exhibit" in New Hope, PA. It has been noticed and admired by our guests and we feel it truly adds to the beauty of our home.
Your passion for this work comes through in every piece you make. Keep up the great work. | | | | | |

My husband Jerry and I were the lucky recipents of one of your beautiful vases from our children on our fiftyth anniversary. Tim Herring whom I understand you know is one of those children. Our oldest as a matter of fact. We have enjoyed the vase so much and love showing it to our friends and family. I cannot think of anything we could have wished for more fitting. Thanks so much and we will keep in touch through Tim. Jan and Jerry Herring
