Somewhere in the vast chronicles of the internet, I recently read something like, “balance is a myth.” I was dumbstruck. What?! What about living a life of peaceful harmony for the rest of eternity? Wasn’t that the purpose of all efforts? Uh, nope. Evidently, that was so 1995. It’s 2019 now, and we have a new mantra – balance is not possible. Well, you…

We are very pleased to introduce our new work. We followed our whims! One of our favorites in this new batch is our new Book Table; it proved to be a good design challenge.  We always love to create new work to share with you! As always, let me know if you have any questions about any of these pieces, I am happy to…

Your Gatski correspondent has been summering with the children. While we did our fair share of cleaning cupboards, closets, and under beds (though you wouldn’t know it the way by looks now!), we also fully embraced baking projects, library visits, pool time, craft workshops, sports pursuits…and, notably, several adventures with Grandma and Nana. The kids are lucky to have two grandmothers who are eager…

Q&A Between Us In tribute to the lighter days of the season, I thought it might be fun to do a little Q&A – to show you how differences can live happily between Ben and I! What would surprise people about you? Ben: I can butcher pigs, and make scrapple (a Pennsylvania Dutch staple). Kate: Give me a fast car and watch me roar…

While Bob Ross has us believing in “happy little clouds” and “happy little trees,” an artistic pursuit is not always so, well…“happy.” I often feel like, dare I say it, there is tension in it. We find ourselves stretching to create something unexpected while also trying to build upon well-established designs. This can feel like more like tug-of-war, and less like skipping down the…

Hi friends, We’re doing a little spring cleaning. And, we have had this lovely piece in our packing shed, and it’s ready for it’s forever home. We’re giving it away to one lucky winner on our email newsletter list. Enter below… Contest by Rewards Fuel.

The truth is, we have a hearty dose of “I’ll just do it myself” around here (also known as stubbornness). It can get the job done, but it doesn’t always make for the best results. It’s taken us a bit longer to learn that, well…we can’t do it alone. We just shot a new video with Tyler (watch it here). In preparation for the…

We’re very excited to share our new video with you! You can watch us sitting down with a sketchbook, dreaming up an idea and putting the hammer o the metal! The only thing missing is all of you, who make our creative freedom possible with your encouragement and support!

“Um, that one!” I exclaim. Ben points in the other direction and says, “How about that one?” If we were to imagine that Ben and I were picking out a sofa, it’s likely we would each choose something different. I would gravitate toward something modern in a neutral color. Ben would choose one more basic or rustic in an earthy color. He would study…

As our children enter their middle-grade to teen years, our schedules grow fuller with practices, games, and lessons. This likely comes as no surprise to many of you, but it is something we’re having to grow accustomed to. What was once “all hands on deck” is now “all heads on deck.” It’s more of a brain game – whether it’s helping to study prepositional…

We’re so excited to share our 2019 Gatski Metal Catalog with you! It’s a collection of the best of our new work, as well as our long-time favorites. Please do let us know if you have any questions about any of these pieces, we’re always happy to answer them. Thank you! Have a good day!  

We created just a couple new pieces in January! We must have had some serious spring fever! We always say that we “create what we can see or imagine before us.” Seeing that first Robin in spring is always an exciting moment! We definitely enjoy sharing our hilltop with the Robins. And, we’ve certainly been sharing the garden with many a rabbit (haha!). As…

We’re excited to participate once again in the American Craft Council Wholesale show. It is one day only this year, February 21st, 2019. We will be bringing our unique metal sculptures and tables to Baltimore. Ben and I look forward to talking with our wholesale buyers there. If you are unable to attend, please do send us an email at [email protected], we would love…
