About

My name is Christopher Gerber, and I am a maker. Born and raised in the Midwest (WI), and living in the PNW since 2010, I strive to merge my passions of exploring all types of wild-spaces, and reflecting on those adventures by working with materials, mainly metal.

Some friends like to say I'm always futz'n, while I usually say I'm tinkering around. At the end of the day, however, it really comes down to the fact that I love working with my hands, and I'm quite curious and playful by nature.

Know that when you buy a piece of mine, the design of the piece, the crafting of materials, and even the packaging and shipping, is all done by yours truly in my tiny shop in the city of Wenatchee, WA.  Nestled on the edge of some of Washington's most incredible landscapes, I don't have to go very far to be filled with the inspiration that drives so much of my work.

On occasion, I work with local industry to help expedite some of the early stages of creation (I'll note this in product listings), but I do so infrequently, and with a certain thoughtfulness as to what that outsourcing means.  Because my work is made made by my own two hands, each item will have its own character. Slight variations in finish, color, and texture may exist, and should be expected. Regular wear will impart an entirely new character to these pieces, and that's part of the process that I love - that the creation is only part of the story. It's up to you, the wearer, to write the next chapter!
