Vendor Spotlight: Bang It Out Designs

Kathleen Calello was designing products in her head years before she produced anything. That’s because she needed the right material to bring her vision to light.

“Somewhere in my travels I must have come across someone who created hand-stamped products and I was intrigued by the process,” she says. “That’s what led me to start hand stamping metal.”

Each of Kathleen’s products is one of a kind. She uses various metals, including aluminum, copper, brass and stainless steel, as well as vintage sterling silverware. The result is products that are both useful and creative.

“I find joy in finding beautiful pieces of vintage silverware in my travels, whether it be the local thrift shop, flea market, or gifted to me,” she says. “I often take mom’s or grandma’s silverware that isn’t being used and make something from it for sentimental purposes – earrings, necklaces, bracelets, bud vases, ornaments…you name it.”

“Everything I make is done by hand, one character at a time. I enjoy making peoples’ visions come true!”
