Meet the Makers Behind 5280 Sawdust & Ink
We are a husband-and-wife maker team in Denver, Colorado, blending sawdust, ink, wood, resin, color, and creativity into functional art made to be used, gifted, displayed, and admired.
Our Story
Where Craftsmanship Meets Creativity
What started as a shared love for creativity grew into a collaboration that brings two artistic strengths together. One side begins with structure, wood, tools, shape, and function. The other begins with color, pattern, resin, ink, and expressive detail.
Together, those pieces become 5280 Sawdust & Ink: handmade work with texture, story, personality, and purpose.
The Makers
Two Artists. One Vision. Endless Possibilities.
5280 Sawdust & Ink is built around the balance of form and feeling. Sawdust represents the hands-on craft: woodwork, boards, frames, signs, structure, and pieces designed to last. Ink represents the expressive side: mandala detail, resin flow, color, painted accents, and art that brings warmth into a room.
Some pieces lean more practical. Some lean more decorative. The best ones meet in the middle, where artistry and purpose can live together.

Ink

Together

What We Believe
Art Should Be Lived With.
We believe handmade pieces should be more than pretty. A board should gather people around food. A cup should become part of a daily ritual. A mirror, sign, coaster, or wall piece should add meaning to the space it lives in.
That is why every piece is made with both beauty and use in mind.
- Handmade, not mass-produced. Each piece carries the marks of the process, the materials, and the hands that made it.
- Designed to feel personal. Names, colors, patterns, engraving, and custom details can turn a useful object into a meaningful gift.
- Rooted in Denver. Our work is shaped by local creativity, mountain energy, natural materials, and an appreciation for artful everyday living.

Custom Work
Made Around the Person, Place or Moment
Some ideas need a custom path. A wedding gift. A housewarming piece. A handmade sign for a favorite room. A cup, board, mirror, or art piece made with a name, color palette, pattern, quote, date, or story behind it.
Custom work starts with a conversation. We listen to the idea, talk through what is possible, and shape the piece around the use, style, materials, timeline, and budget.
