Early adopters, modern pioneers, on the cutting edge…nope, nope, and nope. None of the above apply to us. Where’s the box for “occasionally, reluctantly updating”? We tend to make do. In fact, in our world that old adage – you know, “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” – sometimes becomes “even if it is broke, don’t fix it.” We will make it work.…

Sometimes it’s hard to remember why we settled ourselves and our work at the top of this hill. Our location brings plenty of challenges our way. But the truth is that we love it. And lately, our art has been sending us a not-so-subtle reminder. This year, an airing of our grievances might include some remark about our need to tractor crates down our…

We are very excited to share our fresh, new Gatski designs with you! We enjoyed creating these new pieces. Some were a collaboration, some were all our own, and honestly some were last minute additions. We can say that all of them were made with love! In fact, we clearly have “love” theme going in this collection, as is evidenced by the frequent presence…

For the Love of Odd Things… might have to be a working title for our life story. When you go from making a larger-than-life martini sculpture to shipping a metal fox in a box to India “all in a day’s work,” you might have a predisposition for out-of-the-ordinary projects. But while they may be odd, one thing that’s extra exciting about our unusual undertakings:…

Hi! Just popping in to let you know about a mARTini Art Auction hosted by the Carlisle Learning Arts Center on November 17th, 2018. We were honored to create the signature piece for this event, a larger-than-life martini sculpture! It will also be auctioned off at the event. Sadly, we cannot attend the event in person, but we will be there in spirit. If…

There were four bear, two giraffe, three raven, eight sheep, and seven bison. No, not on the ark…in a small shop on a hill. That list represents the quantities of each animal we created last year. It probably comes as no surprise that our volume is low. We don’t ever expect to make many multiples of anything. So needless to say, it has been…

We’re so happy to introduce you to our new collection of pieces: Tudor Moose Red Trillium Sunflower (Wall) Mum in a Vase Garland Dahlia (Wall) Cat (Name to be determined) Bear (Name to be determined)

There are country roads, superhighways, canal paths, byways, rail trails, boulevards, and all manner of corridors from one location to another. But have you ever heard of a lab lane? No? That’s fair. We might just have an exclusive on that particular kind of passageway up here on our little hillside. We more commonly refer to this lab lane as “the field road.” It’s…

We’d be happy to give you a shop tour pretty much any time – whether you zip up on a four-wheeler or tune in by video from a conference room. (Both of these occurred recently.) Actually, we’ve had visitors arrive in all manner of ways over the years. Some ride up in the back of pickup trucks, some arrive in very elegant vehicles (our…

wonderful photo above by Hej Coffee, thank you!  Ben’s mom once compared our lives to the story of Pinocchio. Not because we’re liars – haha! –  but because Ben is a bit like Gepetto, the woodcarver in the story who creates a wooden puppet and wants it to be real. Ben might not be looking for quite the same results, but the animals he…
