Just got word that Rail Yard Studios got accepted to the CraftNEWYORK 2012 Show! This is a pretty exclusive juried art show where only 120 artists are accepted to exhibit.
We are SUPER excited about this and flattered to be getting to be in a show that has included the likes of folks like Mark del Guidice, Michael Puryear and Jay Rogers.
Look for us in the Big Apple March 29-April 1.
See finished pieces on our web site and keep up with what we are doing via Facebook.
With a demand for authenticity, we insist that only railroad materials be integrated into a design. Furthermore, all of our products are completely “Made in the USA” and are crafted in large part by the same hands that work the railroad on a daily basis – honest, hard-working blue-collar laborers.
About the Designers
Robert Hendrick, Rail Yard Studios founder and designer, learned about wordworking and carpentry on the weekends from his father Jim. Together they are the father and son team responsible for the creations that come out of the studio.
Robert was inspired to create Rail Yard Studios after seeing century-old materials being scrapped by his railroad maintenance and construction company.
He received his undergraduate degree in Industrial Design from Auburn University in 1990 and his Masters of Art in Industrial Design from The Ohio State University.
