I am so glad you made it.  Perhaps you landed here via posts from Create Worth, The Arts Business Institue or Vianza. However you traveled- thank you for taking a moment to be here.

Ben and I make metal sculptures and furniture. We love art with humble origins, rural idiosyncrasies and making creative business strategies. We have three young children, a small herd of Jersey dairy cows and a couple Berkshire pigs.

Here on our Gatski Metal site  you’ll find our gallery of work; The Steel Fork is where you can purchase our work (or on Etsy).

We are nearing our 10th year as full time artists. We love it!  This April we are launching our first ever digital guide called, “All Craft.  A Recipe to Make It Pay.” Sign up here and you will receive fresh announcements about this exciting project.

We look forward to staying in touch with you! We love to connect with you on twitter & facebook.  Happy Spring!

We’re thrilled to join other “re-imaginers” like Rich Dunbrack in this exciting new space. If you find yourself in West Chester, Pennsylvania – I recommend stopping by The Merchant.

Michael Arizin believes in second acts, not just in life, but in love and in art as well. Michael is in the midst of his own second act, having left the world of finance after thirty years to pursue a long growing love for an art form that speaks to infinite possibilities.

We made six large wall mounted heads for this gorgeous restaurant…. J. Gilberts.  If you’re ever in St. Louis, MO you should go check them out.

If you look closely there is one of our wall sculpture pieces right inside the door.

We love making custom pieces for special spaces. It was an honor to create these just for J. Gilberts. Thanks for the opportunity and all the best with your new restaurant!
