The Artisans Behind Oxcart Dreams
Where Tradition Meets Timeless Craftsmanship
At Oxcart Dreams, we take immense pride in our craft, handcrafting copper and steel pieces with the time-honored artistry of blacksmithing and coppersmithing. Our passion for metalwork runs deep, and each piece is meticulously shaped by hand with precision and care. From functional designs to custom commissions and decorative works of art, we pour our expertise and heart into everything we create. Our work honors the rich history of smithing while bringing enduring beauty into modern homes.
The Values That Shape Our Work and Our World
We believe in honoring God in all we do. 1 Corinthians 10:31 states, "...whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God." This is reflected in every area of our lives, whether it be creating works of art, interacting with customers, or raising our family of eight homeschooled children, we put God first. We also recognize that all the talents and gifts we are given are blessings to be shared and as Roman 11:36 says, " For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever."
"To God Be the Glory" is not just a catch phrase, it's a way of life.
