Local Artisan’s Work to Be Featured at 2012 Academy Awards

By Wallace Kowrach
Hamilton Township (Mercer County), February 17, 2012—Local artisan Wallace Kowrach’s handcrafted writing instruments have been selected as one of the celebrity gifts to be presented at the upcoming 2012 Academy Awards in Hollywood, CA on February 26th.
His work will be part of a select group of international artisans represented at the event by The Artisan Group (TAG), a prestigious juried guild of artisans who promote their members to top celebrities. TAG works in conjunction with GBK Productions, the producers of the 2012 Academy Awards Gift Lounge.
Kowrach chose a gold-veined, white marble, rollerball pen with 22KT gold and rhodium trim for the display piece in the gift lounge. He is including a modern style ballpoint pen in 24KT gold with various contrasting colors and materials for the 100 celebrity gifts. All come with a lifetime warranty and a hand signed note from the artisan.
Wallace Kowrach is the principal artisan at his company, The Exceptional Artisan, L.L.C. He designs and crafts unique writing instruments made to the client’s exact specifications. Primarily, he works in wood, marble and acrylics but has even crafted pens from materials such as computer circuit boards.
In addition to one-of-a-kind fine writing instruments, Wallace also designs and creates gifts for corporate gift-giving, wine connoisseurs and specialty gifts for men and women.
Kowrach attributes his success to intense attention to details creating some of his works and thus gives his clients more than they expect.
“People today are always looking for added value in anything they purchase and that is what I excel at. I give them that personal attention that no large retailer can ever provide.”
“Today we sign some of life’s most important documents with a throw-away pen that we use hours on end and wonder why it’s so uncomfortable to write. My clients are amazed with the difference in writing with an instrument custom-tailored to their writing style.”
Examples of The Exceptional Artisan’s work can be found on his website: www.ExceptionalArtisan.com. He can also be reached via email at [email protected] and by telephone at 609-213-3634.
