Rust Artisans’ Shop is a gallery of unique hand-crafted items by several local artists, such as paper filigree, knitted items, and most importantly, luminaries and lights made of old corrugated tin utilize the surplus of corrugated tin in Missouri.

Some of the highlights of our artisan shop includes:

metal art
knitting
crocheting
quilting
soap making all done by local artists

Our Recycled Relics line of products is made entirely out of reclaimed and donated materials. This line of products usually funds the restoration of my three historic fixer uppers, but due to the covid-19 outbreak, is purely for survival purposes now. The Lamp Shades and Candle Holders cast perfect images of themselves onto the wall, ceiling and or table, and the ornaments and signs are made from scraps.

When visiting Ste. Genevieve along The Lewis and Clark Trail, be sure stop in at Rust Artisans’ Shop for a piece a gift that will last a lifetime.
