sticks line consist of 3 varies materials in one artifact: metal castings, fused glass and chiseled Jerusalem stone.

Argaman is an Israeli artist, who for the past 30 years, specialized in handmade Judaica artifacts made of metal castings. His original creations reflect the essence of the holy land by using motifs driven from the Israeli daily lives. Argaman's unique designs were exhibited at the Tel - Aviv Museum.

In the past few years, Argaman added a new dimension to his art work - fused glass.
The fused glass is made of layers of cut glass that being arranged in a kiln to be fired in a high temperature until it becomes one piece. This technique made it possible for the artist to achieve fresh designs, endless shapes and varies colors.

Argaman merged the fused glass with his metal castings creations and by doing so; he expended the traditional margins of the Judaica artifacts. Argaman was one of the pioneers to use fused glass along with metal in his work. Among his unique designs are Mezuzahs, Hamsas, home decor Jewish items and many more special designed items.

As a constantly evolving artist, Argaman is always seeking for new ideas and materials to use. Recently, he added new feature to his work, a native material: chiseled Jerusalem stone. The usage of Jerusalem stone led him to his newest creations, designed Chanukiya and candle sticks made of 3 varies materials in one artifact: metal castings, fused glass and chiseled Jerusalem stone.

A year ago, Argaman joined Omanot.com an internet based company who represent Israeli contemporary artists, by offering their unique work to be purchased online. Omanot.com represents his latest collection, along with his classical work.
