Welcome to Bent Productions...
An Artist-Blacksmith studio operated by me,
Shannon Buckner.
I have been working with metal for 25yrs, bringing my
background in pastel painting, textile print design and
graphic design into sculptural form.
My inspiration is rooted in nature. Seedpods, insect bodies, aquatic life, color, texture, design and even scents all transport me into an imaginary world. It's very exciting to forge cold hard steel into fluid organic shapes; bringing my ideas to fruition. My garden sculptures are of ficticious plant species that often ingage your imagination! All are intended for outdoor, year round enjoyment.
Sculptures are available for sale at art shows or by appt.*
Custom work is also available such as gates, railings, trellises, and range from the Art Nouveau to Midcentury Modern aesthetic.

"I have several of Shannon's sculptures. They create a great focal point and look like something is growing, even when my garden is dormant. The painted ones are my favorite for adding color during the winter months." ~James W. Federal Way, WA
"We love our custom railing! Shannon is so easy to work with. She presented us with concepts that we had not considered and gave us a high quality railing that is truly beautiful and unique." Jo S.
