Janet and Eeron Dellosa, owners

Specializing in creative metal works, pottery and paintings

Art has always been a part of Janet and Eeron Dellosa’s lives. In fact, it runs in the family and has been passed down for generations. The motherdaughter team now combine their talents in Gal-vanized, an art studio which specializes in creative metal works, pottery and paintings.

Eeron started Gal-vanized in early 2018. At that time, she cut designs in antique gas cans and repurposed them from what some might consider trash to unique display pieces. Her work has since expanded to include any kind of antique metal, be it saws, milk cans, shovels or watering cans.

Along the way, Eeron’s designs have also become more intricate. Each one-of-a-kind piece is handdrawn and cut using a hand-held plasma cutter.

During the pandemic and amidst adopting a dog with severe separation anxiety, Eeron decided to take up pottery, which she could do at home with her dog. It was then that her mom, Janet, who previously owned and had retired from Carson-Dellosa Publishing, decided to join her in the studio.

While Janet and Eeron both dabble in hand-building, they mostly use pots that are thrown by Eeron, after which they add their individual finishing touches. Janet hand paints intricate and often whimsical designs and Eeron uses more traditional glazes, although usually very colorful.

The mother and daughter say their favorite part of the business is that they get to spend every day together creating beautiful pieces, and they get to do it with their dogs.

Gal-vanized is open to the public for shopping the first Sunday of every month from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours in the month of December.

Roy Jones, founder

“In January 2005, I was cleaning out an old safe. It’s interesting what we think is important at a particular time,” said Roy Jones, founder of TAWCMM. “I found old warranties, insurance papers from old policies, and numerous things that were no longer important. As I sorted through the various documents, I found a letter, written years earlier, from Keith Carroll, my pastor at the time.

“The letter was one of encouragement, support, and expectation of how God was going to use me. In that moment, the Holy Spirit came upon me and the resounding question from God was, ‘What have you done for me, Roy?’ My heart was heavy because I could not think of anything that would be indicative of working for ...continued on p. 34
