Bang! Creative Momentum
Read moreWhat pushes you over the creative edge? It’s often less than illustrious- a routine? an annoyance? or a need? Maybe it’s what you do everyday or it’s something you can’t stand anymore or you simply can’t afford to buy it.

In Progress, New Gatski Sculpture & Furniture
Read moreWe backed er’ down the past few weeks- we slow down to get creative. We’re working on all new Gatski handmade sculpture & furniture. It is always exciting and exhausting.

A Farmers Legacy

That is how I met Ben (he owned and operated an organic dairy business at the time).

There is sometimes enough frustration to wade around in. Not today. It’s a good one. Here’s what’s in front of us… •Ben just wrapped up a palette of
