Splinters-N~Rust was launched out of a desire for a creative outlet while being a stay-at-home mom to two small children. 

 

The DIY Workshop serves as a studio space for local artists, but also a public makerspace for creative classes.  The space is open to other area artist to teach classes as well.  

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Janice Richardson, a resident of Hutchinson, Kansas is originally from the Carolinas. She pursued a passion for art after growing up watching her mother find joy in drawing and painting. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art at Greensboro College, in NC, she worked for many years in commercial real estate. 
After relocating with her husband to Hutchinson, Kansas and becoming a stay-at-home mom, Janice started Splinters-N-Rust.  Since 2016 the business has expanded to teaching Pinterest inspired classes to the public, as well as offering fine arts classes with local in-house artist Naomi Ullum.

 

In 2024 Janice took on a part-time teaching position at The Clayworks for the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center project.   This project was a great success and has expanded into continued collaborations with community partners.

 

Most recently, fine art by Janice Richardson is available for purchase online.
