Now Accepting 2026 Commissions: Bringing Stone and Steel to Your Landscape
The start of a new year on the farm always brings a sense of renewal. While the garden is quiet and the goats and chickens are tucked away and cozy for the winter, the studio is buzzing with activity. We are thrilled to announce that Sticks and Stones Farm is officially opening commissions for the 2026 season.
The Art of the Long View
Working with stone and steel is an exercise in patience and permanence. Because each hand-carved sculpture and custom welding project requires deep focus and precision, we limit the number of commissions we take each year. This ensures that every piece, from a statement garden sculpture to an architectural gate, will receive the attention it deserves.
Our Process: From Vision to Installation
We believe the best work comes from a partnership between the artist, the client, and the land itself. Our process typically involves:
The Consultation: A walkthrough of your space on Bainbridge Island (or virtually) to discuss your vision.
The Design: Drafting concepts that blend functional art with the natural Pacific Northwest environment.
The Creation: Bringing the piece to life in our farm studio using raw granite, steel, and stone.
The Installation: Careful placement to ensure the work looks as though it has always belonged to your landscape.
Secure Your Place for 2026
Our 2025 calendar filled up quickly, and we are eager to begin planning for next year. If you have been dreaming of a custom piece to anchor your garden or a structural metal element to define your home, now is the time to start the conversation.
