Farm Shop Art is literally a small startup business in a farm shop in Nash County, NC. It’s not full time yet, I wish it was, but I work a real job too. FSA started when my wife showed me a picture on Pinterest of a dragonfly made of forks, knives and spoons. She said, “Can you make this?”, I said, “Probably.” So off to the farm shop I went. I had a welder, why not give it a shot, well it turned o
ut better than I thought, she loved it, my mom loved it, their friends loved it, they all wanted one…”Hmmmmm, I wonder if they will PAY for one?”, they would, they did, what else could I make. As I said this is a real farm shop, we don’t farm anymore since my dad passed away a few years ago, we did farm Costal Bermuda; hay in layman’s terms. There are no balers, tedders or cutters left to repair, but I still have a welder, a torch, grinders, tools, junk, lots of junk and a shop. So, that’s where I started, repurposing the tools that once kept a farm operating into tools to grow a small business, I hope to keep it growing just like the hay on the farm did, year after year…. This is not mass produced, machine stamped, robot welded and polished by someone in a foreign country, for mass consumption out of mail-order catalog…
This handmade, one-of-kind, folk art style FUN!
