FeaturedArtistPipeDreamDesigns

Pipe Dream Designs is a family run business consisting of Derek, Jodi, and our two young children. We make handcrafted/handmade metal garden art and home decor. We create and market our products during time chiseled out of our full time jobs, family activities, travel, community events, and various other interests. A lot of our products will not only add beauty to your home, garden, or office, but help to keep unwanted material out of the landfills and scrap yards that aid in polluting the Earth. We recycle wherever possible. Our company began with a silly doodle on a piece of scrap paper. Looking at the doodle we thought, “Hey, we could make that out of metal”, “That might be kind of neat!” Having various tools around for numerous previous projects, the capability was there. And so it began…doodle after doodle turned into beautifully crafted pieces of art. Our designs range from fanciful to functional to elegant.
Derek has been welding and building things for most of his life, spurred by parents who could make nearly anything. If you wanted something, try to make it first, that’s just the way it was. His dad welding and his mom sewing, to finish a project for the kids, was a pretty common event. Jodi’s involvement with the metal arts is a bit more recent. Starting as a helper, learning along the way, she now does her own cutting, welding, and finishing. The pride of working through the steps and finishing a piece creates a great sense of pride and joy. Our children are eager to help, and love to do whatever safety will allow. They often help clean up the shop and provide design input on projects of interest.
