About Carl Tasha
Carl Tasha was a sculptor and painter who lived most of his life in Provincetown, Massachusetts, at the tip of Cape Cod. He is most widely known for his sculpture and his captivating jewelry and buckles. He worked
directly in metal
by melting bronze rods with a hand-held torch: melting, guiding, building up, forging, fusing. People have collected his work since the 1960s.
The Limited Editions
The limited editions of his designs have all been produced over the years by
Carl Tasha Designs in Limited Editions
, the studio founded by Carl and Nancy Gribbin in the early 1970s to make castings of his work. The Two-part Primeval Fish is one of the editions that is still open and being produced by the studio, still under the careful eye and hand of Nancy Gribbin.
This Design
This grand, eye-catching fish buckle has an articulated tail. You can see in the pictures how the two pieces, the body and the tail, are joined together. The moving tail is not only fun, it also allows this long buckle to lie flat against the belt.
The Finish on the Buckle
The buckle has been hand patinated and then hand polished on a buffing wheel. The buffing removes the patina from the high spots and produces the bright finish, while the patina remains in the undercuts. This two-step process enhances the beauty of the buckle by increasing its three-dimensionality.
Taking Over From My Sister
From 2009 until 2019 my sister as “Yourpamperedhorse” was selling Carl’s buckles on ebay. I have now taken over for my sister (who is fine).
Please feel free to e-mail me with questions.
