Thirty years of fine craft.
For over three decades, Falbrecht Studios has been creating handcrafted designs in several media: from kiln fired enamel on copper and classic colorful millefleur glass, to etched faux bone "scrimshaw," to hand painted wood tops. Our color enamel designs are on 18 gauge copper, fired at 850 C using Thompson enamels.
We sift colors onto raw copper with designs built-up using enamel powders, employing traditional techniques of wet packing, gold leaf, hand stencilling, metal lusters and enamel paints. Contact us for more information regarding other processes we do.
For Corker repair
If your Corkers’ cork (yikes!) snaps, don’t worry! We always offer lifetime repair, of ours and our 'sister' studio (Eale) Corkers. Some of you may know us as ReCorkers (don’t worry, you’re in the right place.)
Just mail the art-topped wood handle to:
F. Albrecht P.O. Box 11571 Santa Rosa, CA 95406
Use a 6x9" manila envelope, and wrap the artwork with any protective material (newsprint, bubble wrap, paper towel).
Include return postage: $3.50 for one, $5.00 for two to three Corkers. We supply return envelope and postage. Feeling generous?: add some stamps to help the cause. No need to return the display stand with the handle, please.

Where can I find you in person?
We are often on the road, doing highly respected juried art and craft festivals most weekends. Our show list is rarely up-to-date, as some shows are later with their acceptance notices than others. Email us to find out about our next appearance in your area. We'd love to see you at a show!
Can you do custom corkers?
Yes, we often take orders for custom Corkers. There is a 250 piece minimum order for custom Corkers featuring kiln fired enamel on copper art pieces.
We do custom logo Corkers for businesses: Corkers make great year end gifts and tradeshow incentives.
Wineries typically order our Corkers with their logo on the tops to send to distributors to get to bars and restaurants for cost effective wine by the glass programs; wineries also say thank you to their wine club members by sending a custom logo Corker yearly.
Our customers know our Corkers work, and we are contacted many times each year to do custom Corkers for wedding favors when one of our customers' daughters becomes engaged.
