Wayne Halabourda

Wayne Halabourda is a designer, maker and teacher with a lifelong passion for creativity, constantly drawing and imagining new things to make. He is happiest in the process of bringing together ideas and materials, transforming them into beautiful objects.

Wayne’s designs and methods are chosen with utmost care, consideration and intent, crafting each piece with the skill and expertise that only comes with countless, joyful hours in the studio. His work is not only visually engaging, but also immediately tactile.

From the silky smoothness of a hand rubbed finish to the textural complexity of carved surfaces, the viewer is greeted with refined, sophisticated lines that beg to be touched, turned over, opened. The underside and inside is always given the same attention, detailing and finishing as the outside.

With close to a three-decade teaching career, Halabourda has shared his creative passions with literally thousands of young people. Whether it be industrial and architectural design, woodcraft or guitar making, sparking in his students an otherwise unknown talent has been exceptionally rewarding.

Wayne Halabourda currently creates bespoke and limited-edition furniture pieces, guitars, sculpture, architectural woodworks, and other interesting objects from his studio in Victoria, BC.
