Splinters~N~ Rust was born out of a desire for a creative outlet while being a stay-at-home mom to two small children. With a love for all things vintage, reclaimed and recycled this small business was launched.  Some of our materials are recycled and sourced in and around Hutchinson, Kansas.

 

The DIY Workshop was a dream for many years.  It serves as a studio space for artists but also a public makerspace.  The space it open to other area artist to teach classes.
