Aespyre Metal Design

I design and create sculpture, trophies, ornamental and architectural metalwork. Ranging from large, outdoor and site-specific sculpture to custom trophies for large corporations like RedBull and GoPro, to hand forged iron railings and fire screens for homes, our work explores and defies the boundaries of metalwork. Our willingness to challenge limits enables us to make exciting discoveries in our chosen medium.

Hand Lettering Pieces and Abstract Art Gifts

I take such joy in the little details of my work…that brush stroke there and that splatter of color here.

Soil and Steel

Steel products such as chandeliers, railings, sculpture, etc.

I started my business in 2010 focusing on metalwork and gardening. While I still do some garden work, my business has mainly shifted towards metal art. Aside from sculpture, I have made railings, chandeliers, beds, archways, gates, firescreens, and more. I enjoy designing work for a specific location, and tend to lean towards art deco, art nouveau, arts & crafts / craftsman style. Though I work with with a hard, heavy, and dirty medium, my aim is to soften and shape it into something beautiful that will add to a persons everyday life.

Pretentious Glass Co.

 

PBGC originated from a small drinking club at the Mellwood Arts Center in Louisville, KY. Each friday afternoon, we would take off work early to sit in the courtyard and drink great craft beer. After a couple too many (all good ideas start this way, right?) the club decided that I should make beer glasses for everyone. I designed the Hoppy Beer glass and gave each member a customized version of that glass. After making that first glass, I started to notice a lack of unique beer glasses for craft beer. It was just such an obvious problem that it was invisible...hiding out in the open. I started the Pretentious Beer Glass Company as a remedy for that problem, and spent over 6 months making, testing, and refining designs that highlight different styles.

Kristen Holbrook Art

Art

Howdy! My name is Kristen and I like to make things. I am currently making peaceful acrylic paintings, pointed mixed media pieces, and quirky technicolor watercolor illustrations. These three styles come tumbling out depending on my mood which usually can be summed up by: let’s chill out and debate in acrylics, resist! we gotta do something about politics in mixed media, and let’s have fun and be weird together in watercolors. Ever feel like this? Then you’re in good company - Enjoy!

Pevonka Studios

Textured Paintings

What excites me most about what I make is that I'm on a path of discovery and exploration of paint as subject, object, material, and texture.

The paintings have great depth, their surfaces have 100s of layers of paint. It wasn't until I carved my first gouge that I was hooked. I was able to reveal the history of the painting and what was locked within. The piece had innocence and potential to be something heroic, and full of information and wonder. My love for exploring paint as object is still fueled by that single gouge, however I manipulate the pieces surface with new tools and applications.

I have two bodies of work; my carvings which for the most apart are my abstracts, with an occasional landscape here and there and my assemblages which are my mermaids, girls with flowers, and animals. My assemblages are made primarily of paint, I reuse the excess that has been carved away from my abstract paintings to create more textures that invites you to play and interact physically and emotionally with the pieces.

I love to play with color, line and texture. In my current work I am exploring paint as texture. It really is something you have to see, touch and experience. I invite you to come enjoy this new body of work, there is something for everyone.

On my site I also sell handmade Moroccan goods including textile, leather, and ceramics sourced from responsible organizations.

Chaser And Burk Custom Furniture

Mid Century Modern Custom Furniture and Home Goods

My passion for woodworking was realized when I made a simple shelf for my wife in 2013. Soon after I began obsessively learning everything I could woodworking and furniture design. I got a job at a small commercial furniture shop that made rustic style furniture as I began to build my own business on the side. I grew more and more fascinated with Mid Century Modern design and 2 years later I finally took the plunge and quit that job to start my own business. Since then I have developed deep relationships with my clients as we worked closely together to design and build furniture that met their practical needs and gave their house a touch of comfort and beauty.

I use the highest quality locally sourced hardwoods and time tested building techniques to provide my clients with heirloom quality furniture and home furnishings that they can cherish for a lifetime. I believe in taking the time to make things the right way, even if it's not the easiest, and I stand behind the products that I make.

Satisfaction guaranteed, every time.
