About the studio
A small Minneapolis metal shop
Spark Hut Studio is the metal shop of steel artist Pete Christensen, in the Northeast Arts District in Minneapolis. We make metal art: interior pieces, custom designs and landscape sculpture.
We design, build and fabricate each piece, so the idea you start with is the piece you end up with. We work with homeowners, landscape companies and designers, on everything from a single planter to a stair railing.
We like Steel, Corten, Mixed Metals, Copper, Wood, Electricity…
Reviews
What clients say
“Pete has always delivered the finished product on time and been really receptive to new ideas and has great ideas of his own. I look forward to many more projects with Pete.”
“Pete listened carefully to my brainstorming, took my random ideas and created a design that was more than I had imagined… It is the centerpiece of our home and everybody that visits raves about how unique and personal it is.”
“Pete has transformed what is normally intimate (about an inch long, made of feathers and thread) into an impressive table-top piece made of welded steel and soldered copper… Just a beautiful piece indeed!”
