Our story

It all began from boredom and passion

Gnome and Garden began as a one-man artisan studio out of Nashville, TN, making handcrafted cement statues from start to finish. During the pandemic, when our co-founder Ryan began working remote, he had a lot of time on his hands to experiment with his passions of 3D modelling, engineering, and hand-made processes. We do every part of the process ourselves: designing the molds, mixing and pouring the cement, and hand-painting every piece.

“As a lifelong maker and engineer, I blend old-world craftsmanship with modern tools like 3D printing, 3D scanning, CAD design, and rubber mold making. I use techniques inspired by the YouTube maker community and my friend Arthur, who grew up casting large bronze statues using methods that have been around for centuries.” - Ryan Bailey, Co-Founder

Innovation without forgetting artisanry

At Gnome and Garden we understand the world is changing quickly, and we strive to adapt to using the newest and best technologies to create more joy and whimsy in the world.

Where we are now

Gnome and Garden continues to stay focused on our humble beginnings as hands-on artisans with a passion for innovation. With a surge of demand and interest in the variety and quality of the small garden statues we create, we've been growing our operations quickly to place unique decor and conversation starters in gardens and homes across the states!
