Eau Claire artist Eric Lee hand crafts drums and creates artwork out of gunpowder.

Eric Lee has found a unique way to make his passion for art a part of his working life. Combining his musical talent with skills he learned making furniture, Eric began constructing specialty wooden snare drums out of reclaimed wood from the Old Globe Grain Elevator in Superior. His appreciation for Superior’s industrial landscape is also featured in the artwork he creates—out of gunpowder.
