Artisan Shop

Welcome to Rustic Remnants Artisan Shop located on Goshen Road, Renfrew, Ontario.  Renfrew County is a well known area for its artisans and studio tours.  The Shop contains art work crafted by Pat Forrest, and consignment work crafted by local high school students from Renfrew Collegiate Institute.

The name 'Rustic Remnants' fit perfectly into Pat's business idea - creating and selling items that she makes herself that either have a ‘rustic’ look and feel to them, or contain ‘remnants’ of old country items that would also fit the rustic theme. This form of art and decoration has been around for a long time for many country dwellers, but has now expanded and is favoured by the more traditional styled homeowners as a new form of decoration. Pat believes that the right piece of rustic art would be a piece that one wouldn’t get tired of, but rather art that would age gracefully with time.

Many of the rustic bits of our heritage that will be used in some of the art pieces include old steel horseshoes, railroad nails, and any other old metal pieces that can be formed into functional pieces of art.

Custom work can be done if you're looking for that certain something special that you want done with some old rustic pieces that you may have around the house or barn.
