Hi! My name is Aron Fischer...and I am the owner and maker at FG.

The name "Facture Goods" came from a conversation with my husband, John. We were sitting on our couch throwing out different names and ideas for my brand, when John said, “Why not call it Facture?” The funny thing was that my favorite professor used the word ALL THE TIME during figure drawing critiques in order to get her students to understand the power of making something by hand. It seemed serendipitous that two important people in my life had used the word around me.

I love to find ways to combine materials in interesting and unexpected ways to highlight a forms function. I work with hardwoods, clay and metals to create small batch kitchenwares, utensils and provisions with a “primitive modern” aesthetic. By creating work that is somewhat rough, even crude, I am able to be as prolific as needed for each project.

I hold a master’s in Sculpture from the Univesity of Missouri - Columbia, and a bachelor’s in Drawing from the University of Missouri - St. Louis. The Facture Goods studio is located on occupied land. All work is created in Hamphire, Illinois which is the territory of the Peoria, the Potawatomi, the Kickapoo, the Očhéthi šakówiŋand the Miami peoples.
