About Studebaker

Educated as a metalsmith, trained as a jeweler, and experienced in architectural metalwork, founder Mike Studebaker strives to create work that draws from the traditions of smithing and the objects we interact with daily. Each of Studebaker’s works is completely handmade using traditional tools and techniques; most of the forms you see are created solely with a hammer and anvil.

The pieces are ‘finished like a tool’: minimally polished and left with a work patina to develop over time. All items are stamped with the Studebaker Maker’s Mark and their place of origin: Pittsburgh, PA.
