Congratulations Wayne Orchard, on having the winning bid on this beautiful piece of Koi Art and thank you for your generous support of KHV research. Watch for the next Auction of another exciting piece of koi art crafted by Peter Enfield. Details to be published soon.
Peter Enfield has made an extremely generous donation of four of his custom made koi slates to the AKCA PROJECT KHV. Peter and his wife Silvia live in Oregon and are avid koi hobbyists. Peter is well known for his beautiful and unique pieces of koi art. Peter starts with a photograph of a Grand Champion Koi to create his glass patterns. He takes a beautiful piece of gray slate and carves out the powerful koi shape. Next he takes special fusible stained glass and cuts it into the koi's unique patterns. The pieces of cut glass are put together like a jigsaw puzzle and then fired in a special glass kiln to fuse it into a solid glass koi. Then the fused glass koi is fitted into the indentation in the prepared piece of slate to create an extraordinarily beautiful and unique piece of koi art. Unlike our perishable pets, Peter's koi art is timeless. His koi colors will never fade. The vibrant reds, porcelain whites, and shiny ebony blacks are perfect. Peter creates the beautiful image of Grand Champion koi floating on the surface of a deep dark crystal clear pond.
Many koi hobbyists have been trying to obtain one of Peter's koi/slate art pieces for years, however; Peter does not sell his creations. One way to get Peter's koi slates are to win the Annual AKCA Bob Spindola, Champion of Champions, Award. This award and accompanying piece of Peter's koi art is given to the top Koi chosen from photos of all the Grand Champion Koi winners at Koi shows in the USA. Not a easy thing to accomplish. You might also get one of Peter's koi slates at a special auction at events like the annual AKCA National Seminar. This is your opportunity to own one of Peter's unique pieces of koi art and help the AKCA PROJECT KHV at the same time.
