Indio Metal Arts

I recently contacted Shelly because I truly didn’t know where else to turn. Frankly, I was almost embarrassed to call as my request was so small versus a a major commission. I had a very inexpensive but highly sentimental garden piece that had been recently damaged in the Winter storms. Shelly was incredible she answered my call immediately and met with me that day. She was in the middle of working on an exciting piece for an upcoming festival and I was very sheepish when I brought in my piece for repair. She put my mind at ease and really put thought into what was required and shared how she could help. She recognized this inexpensive little thing was important to me and treated me like I was a major patron. She charged a very fair price and her attention to detail was amazing. Thank you Shelly!

I just had a welding job done on a 150 year-old desk chair that has been in our family for years. I could not be more pleased. This was a small custom job, and the artisan was an absolute pleasure to work with. She understood what needed to be done, shared her expertise while we were discussing the project, and made extra improvements that I could not have imagined. Really great work, here. It was good to have someone with this knowledge so willing to share her best ideas, and complete such good work.

Shelly worked with me to create beautiful and whimsical shutters for my home. I could not be happier with them and the collaborative process which included various etchings, flower, bird and color selections!

Love the gate, porch hand rails, and trellis made by Indio Metal Arts! Not only are they beautiful, but well-made and expertly installed. One of a kind pieces of working art. Shelly was easy to work with, responsive, and is extremely knowledgeable about her craft. Highly recommend Indio Metal Arts.

I have a number of Shelly's smaller pieces (I live in Cleveland, Ohio). Her wreath is on my dining room wall, a big flower in my garden and some small critters scattered around the yard. Her little caged bird and bicycle chain heart hang on my front porch. All were well packaged and arrived in fine shape. Easy peasy. I love Shelly's work.

I purchased Shelley's "raised beds".,, 3 small metal boxes on posts to stick in the ground as a group. Perfect for displaying a small succulent in each.
They are a highlight of my garden! I bought two more sets as presents. I also have a few of her metal fern fronds and would love to have more.
Shelley welcomed us into her shop. It's fun to see some of her completed pieces and what projects she has going.

We would highly recommend Shelly for any kind of metal work.
She was easy to work with and the project results are absolutely right. Shelly, made three hammered metal brackets for us. They are beautiful, and turned out to be exactly what we wanted, even when we weren't absolutely certain of how they would work. She was very willing to work with us, checking with us often to make sure we were all on the same page with every detail.

We started with the need for something utilitarian, but Shelly took our need for function and turned our brackets into pieces of art. We know she does works of all sizes, so we were very glad she was willing to take our small project, treating it with such care and attention to detail.

Highly recommended and certainly our go to person for future projects!
