How It All Started:
A Husband & Wife's Worldwide Art Project!

Once upon a time, deep in the rolling hills of the Hertfordshire countryside, a husband and wife set out to create something special. Not just sculptures, but a way for people all over the world to bring a little piece of British countryside charm into their homes and gardens.

That was the beginning of Rustic Garden Art — a family-run art project that quickly grew into a global movement, one paw print, feather, and fern at a time.

It all started in a windswept farm workshop just outside Berkhamsted, where Charles — a sculptor with a talent for creating striking wildlife sculptures — spent his days forging stags, hares and horses from solid steel. Sammy, with an eye for design and a deep love of nature, helped shape a vision: to offer art that’s not just admired, but gifted, personalised, and proudly displayed by people everywhere.

As word spread, the little workshop filled with life — and eventually found a new home at Wolds Farm in Tring. Tucked between fields, tractors and the occasional pheasant, their new studio sits in the heart of the Chiltern Hills, surrounded by the wild beauty that inspires so many of their creations.

Inside, it’s a hive of activity. Charles now works alongside a small team of young craftsmen, all learning their trade the traditional way — hands-on, day in, day out, sparks flying, music on, and tea brewing. Every design is carefully cut, shaped and finished in-house, using strong British steel and time-honoured tools. There are no conveyor belts, no big factories — just honest, muddy-booted making.

And when each piece is ready? It’s lovingly packed and dispatched the next working day. Often by Charles and Sammy themselves — still very much hands-on, still running to and from the packing bench between emails, phone calls and welds, making sure every single sculpture leaves the studio just right.

Whether it’s a rusty robin or a 7ft statement sculpture, each order carries a little piece of the farm with it — a blend of fire, steel, skill and soul.

Now, with over 50,000 sculptures sent across the world, Rustic Garden Art is proud to remain small, personal, and full of heart. Every piece is a tribute to British countryside life, handcrafted care, and the belief that art should feel real, lasting, and made with purpose.

So whether you're looking for a gift that means something, a sculpture that makes a statement, or a sign that brings a smile — you're not just buying a product.

You're joining the story. And we’re so glad you’re here.
