Studio M and Tammy Smith Launch Patina Collection

Studio M, the new artful home and garden division of Magnet Works, announced they have partnered with wire sculpture artist Tammy Smith to launch a new collection called Patina. The collection includes a wide variety of functional, artful home and garden décor such as garden trellises, hanging baskets, and more.

“Tammy transforms ordinary, functional garden hardware into beautiful, sculptural works of art. With each twist and bend in the wire, she adds life and character to the collection,” said Anne Brown, Director of Product Development. “Tammy’s ability to turn a simple piece of wire into a fluid three-dimensional illustration is truly remarkable.”

When designing pieces in the Patina collection, Smith drew inspiration from vintage European gates and trellises. She combines her signature whimsical style with unconventional splashes of color, creating something truly unique.

Patina is one of two new collections from Studio M that will debut at the markets in January. Studio M has also expanded its DrinkBlots Art Coasters line, its Painted Peace collection, and its miniature gardening line called Gypsy Garden. Retailers can sign up for sneak peeks of Studio M’s new releases at magnetworks.com/studio-m.
