We're excited to share our newest item in time for the holidays! Our coat racks are made-to-order in custom colors with your choice of two or four hooks. The hooks are available in two styles, a classic U and a modern V. We can incorporate your mementos into the mosaic to make this a truly unique and personal work of functional art. We'll be showing our coat racks for the first time at the VisArts Craft + Design show this weekend.
A few peeks at some recent projects around the studios, from top to bottom:
A client brought a 16th century trunk into Kyle looking for a custom hand forged stand. We love when unique projects like this come our way.
Kyle also gave a blacksmithing lesson to a student who seemed to have a real knack for it!
Johannah created a few colorful gradients that will eventually be part of some collaborative coat racks with forged hooks by Kyle. The coat racks will be finished in time to take along to our next show next month, Craft + Design. We can make these to order to match any decor, and we can even work your mementos into the second design!
To kick off our Inspiration series of posts about artists we admire and other sources of inspiration in our work, it only made sense to start with Catalan artist and architect Antoni Gaudí. There is so much that we admire about Gaudí. Of course his beautiful work, among the most loved in the world. Seven of his works are Unesco World Heritage sites, including all the work pictured here. He shared our love of nature and allowed that inspiration to speak through his work. His masterpiece, the as-yet-incomplete Sagrada Familia, is a fascinating and stunning study in the architecture of nature. Most personally, we are drawn to Gaudí as a craftsperson trained in many fields, including those closest to our hearts, blacksmithing, ceramics, and stained glass.
