About JakeCreates

Sales 904
On Etsy since 2013
  • I love to sculpt unique creations combining clay with elements from the earth such as stones, wood, seashells and moss.
  • In addition to sculpture, I love the creation of my Art Photography.
  • Each piece I create is meticulously detailed by hand.
  • Intricately detailed animals with tons of expression and personality are a specialty of mine.
  • I bring 25 years of creating beautiful and unique art pieces to my customers here in my Etsy Shop.

I live to be inspired to create.

My name is Jacob Folger. I am an Artist Sculptor and I live and work in Washington, DC. I have been a professional artist since 1994.

I am a self-taught artist and I consider this a substantial achievement in my life. Most of my creations in sculpture lean towards mythical themes such as fairy related pieces, but I also enjoy sculpting animals and even fine art pieces from time to time. The Art Photography I do is taken from nature and enhanced with color, contrast and light. All of the artworks in my shop are either one of a kind pieces or low volume reproductions from original works.

A big part of my wanting to become an artist was so that I could own art affordably. And as I became a professional artist and began to sell it, I always tried to make my art affordable to the average person. Everyone should be able to own art.

My art studio is in my home in Washington, DC. My work area consumes the dining room which is brightly lit by two large windows. And my creations take up just about every square inch of table and shelf space throughout my home.

Some people might find it surprising that I do most of my sculpting and art photography editing early, early in the morning before the sun even comes up. There is a special creative energy around 3 am each day. I have no trouble waking and am always excited to be starting my work.

A major recent milestone for me was when I became a YouTube Partner with my how to art channel where I teach people through video how to sculpt in clay. I have over 700 how to videos, mostly for the art classes and nearly 10,000 subscribers to my channel so far. And there are well over 1,100,000 views of my videos to date.

I hope you enjoy my shop and my creations.
