Joshua Miller Design

"The path between art and craftsmanship is where I spend my days. The point where these two meet is where I find my inspiration."

Joshua Miller creates furniture and sculptural work in an old restored church in eastern West Virginia. He believes that our communities are defined by the design and integrity of what we build, so art and design are vital. He is inspired by thoughtful design and all things well made; this fuels his passion to do good work and create pieces that may inspire others.

Joshua Miller works primarily in wood, using locally sourced eastern hardwoods. Miller has a background as a furniture maker, so he uses traditional joinery approaches in creating each work of art. His sculptural pieces are created using these same traditional techniques, but with contemporary, whimsical, and playful forms.

Joshua Miller has studied at Penland School of Crafts, Peters Valley School of Crafts, and The Instituto de Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. His work has been shaped by a series of apprenticeships with master designers and craftsman in Bucks County and Chester County, Pennsylvania. These experiences have taught Miller the importance of balance, the value of a subtle line, and an appreciation for all things well made.
