Willkom...

Welcome to Eric Claypoole Hexsigns and a true slice of Pennsylvania life.  The hexsigns and barnstars you’ll find here have roots dating back hundreds of years.  By researching, lecturing and hand painting these cultural icons, I hope to preserve a portion of our heritage that is quickly becoming a lost art. 

As you make your way through my website, you’ll find out much more about the history of this art form.  You’ll also  get an insight into my personal history of discovery. 
You’ll also find a gallery of my work along with brief descriptions of each design’s “meaning".  If you’d like to own a piece of this lost American art, you can email, or call me directly to discuss your personal wishes. 
 

SAVE THE DATE!!  You can stop by and talk in person during the Kutztown Pennsylvania German Festival June 27 - July 5th, 2009.
