What Makes It Uncommon

Strictly for the Birds

Metalwork artist Derek Martin's unique piece of functional art was inspired by repeated thievery. Birds used to swoop off with the knitting yarn his wife tied to garden stakes to mark the rows. Thus was hatched the idea to make an elegant sculpture to supply birds with nest materials. Derek welded steel wire into spiral spheres and stuffed them with wool bits, cotton from an old futon, even their pets' fur. Do the same, and enjoy spotting nests made with your donations. During winter, put bird seed balls inside, instead, and help flying wildlife all year. Handmade in Canada.

location

Canada

With a degree in design and ceramic arts, Derek began making handmade items from his home studio outside of Barrie, Ontario. After many years working with clay Derek transitioned to welded steel which opened up a bigger market and created greater latitude to pursue works which could be used and enjoyed outdoors year-round.
