Ben Gatski and Kate Gatski
Gatski Metal
Ben and Kate Gatski are self-taught artists who love using simple tools to make handmade, authentic pieces of art. They live and work on a hilltop in rural Pennsylvania. There, they handcraft sculpture and furniture with reclaimed materials (weathered steel and barn wood) and raise their three children. They established Gatski Metal in 2003.
Ben and Kate collect raw materials from scraps yards and other assorted junk piles. They work together to imagine and create unique pieces of art. Ben builds the pieces in the shop, using mostly hand-held cutters, hammers, a roller and a welder. Kate assists with the designing process, and shares their art with the world. They are a true husband and wife team.
Ben began welding at the age of thirteen, when he was given a welder by his father. He began experimenting with welding pieces of farm equipment together. At the age of nineteen, he was building small birds and other sculptures for family friends. He has been creating artwork ever since. Aside from a vocational welding short course, he is entirely self taught.
Customer Reviews
This cabinet is absolutely beautiful. It fits in my entryway and looks amazing. It's a conversation piece. Everyone who visited has commented on how unique and special this cabinet is. I am thrilled to have it in my home.
It tool a couple months from order to delivery but it was worth the wait.
It's a spectacular piece, even better in person than the picture.
It's really gave the room some personality and a very completed look.
Love the cabinet--it sets off the room completely. The ONLY thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was the delivery process. The cabinet itself is utterly gorgeous.
I love the piece I purchased and Ben's craftsmanship. Thank you Ben for making this and sharing and blessing individuals such as myself with this work of art. My home is filled with several pieces of art from all around the world and yours is one of my favorite pieces that completes my collection. I am honored to display it in my home.
At first I wasn't sure a cabinet made from reclaimed metal from scrap yards would work in our modern contemporary home, but then I thought about it for a moment and realized it would be perfect. I especially love the design, blue color, and its functionally. The dimensions are perfect; exactly what I needed. I wanted to create an espresso bar in our home, but was limited on space, so the cabinet had to be perfect in every way. Now that we have our espresso bar all set-up, it truly looks like I had the cabinet commissioned and had Ben and Kate design and create it for us. We could not be happier!
