A few projects

Sneak peek of the award we made for RVA Creativity Awards.

This Thursday evening marks the first-ever RVA Creativity Awards. Many of the awards were created by members of RVA Makers. Everyone really let their imaginations fly on this project and the results are wonderful. You can see more sneak peeks of the awards on the RVA Creativity Awards Facebook page.

You can see some of the other projects we’ve been working on as we prepare for craft shows below, from bonfire pokers to mosaic mirrors and jewelry.

Kyle forged these bonfire pokers from reclaimed steel. The pokers are extra long, designed to be used for those great spring evening outdoor fires.

Check out the color & texture on these new mirror frames. Johannah used reclaimed concrete & glass for the mosaics, and the frames are reclaimed wood.

Latest grouping of mosaic pendants before they were grouted. Come on out to the show to see the completed version!

Fire Screen Collaboration

in , ,

Nothing is more gratifying to both of us as artists and  business partners than to use our unusual skillset on collaborative projects like this set of fire doors.

This custom fire screen was created as part of a room redesign and incorporates elements elsewhere in the room. The twelve porcelain and mirror glass mosaics pick up colors found in the upholstery. The forged bronze handles coordinate with other forged hardware and warm tones of the room.

The photos we've included here show the process of creating the many parts that came together to bring this project to life.
