While we have beautiful vistas here on the hill (useful for spotting wildlife and guessing who’s coming to visit), there’s no clear view out over our art enterprise. That is up to us to conceive and illustrate.

Each season has its own influence on our work.

With the quiet and stillness of winter comes an opportunity for greater concentration, so we turn our focus toward adding to (and editing) our line of work.

Moose Head 18”h x 33”w x 14”d

There’s Maury and Eric. Then there’s Monty and Rusty. And of course, there’s Moose Wellington and Moostafa. I could go on and on, but instead, I’ll just say this: your talent for naming your Moose Heads (among other Gatski pieces) is commendable. (And it far exceeds what we could ever do - we did simply name him Moose Head, afterall.)

gatskimetal.com I’m thinking a hot air balloon might be a good idea for shipping. It seems like an ideal solution, dropping down right where you need to and then sailing gently away. We might have to adjust our delivery timelines.

In our work, circumference comes up a lot. We’re always cutting, welding, and grinding all the way around the outside of a piece. It turns out, 9th grade geometry is actually quite useful.

gatskimetal.com Scrap metal yards are busy places. It’s not wise to linger about. Ben usually goes in with a plan, searching for a oneand-a-half-inch steel pipe or eigth-of-an-inch rusted sheet metal. Sometimes he stumbles upon something unique like metal sheets from a world-renowned skateboarding camp (those made some nice tables). He takes what he can find, and goes back for the rest another time.

gatskimetal.com The process of creating new pieces is always uncertain in the beginning. It’s a bit like a moving target — we don’t know where it will lead us. But what we do know is that inspiration is never very far!

Our pieces have a story, and we hope they’ll become a part of yours.

We are Ben and Kate Gatski, self-taught artists who love using simple tools to make handmade, authentic pieces of art. We live and work on a hilltop in rural Pennsylvania. There, we handcraft sculpture and furniture with reclaimed materials (weathered steel and barn wood) and raise our three children. We established Gatski Metal in 2003.

We see beauty and inspiration in our surrounding landscape, our rural lifestyle, and the reclaimed. And we want to share that with you.

Our home and shop sit at the top of a hill, overlooking forest and fields.

We often find ourselves creating pieces based on what we see (or can imagine) before us. Our raw material comes from scrap yards and other assorted junk piles.

We believe in the power of good stories, good craftsmanship, and good customer service.

Ben is a welder and artist, and Kate is a designer and entrepreneur. We believe in bringing you (our customers) pieces that make you happy and that you can enjoy forever. And we delight in collaborating with you to create pieces that fit perfectly into your home.

Each Gatski piece is built to last — so it can be a part of your story for a long time to come.
