Artisans Supporting Our Battleship Texas
We are a group of artisans from across the country that have teamed with the Battleship Texas Foundation to create unique and functional works of art using materials reclaimed from the Battleship Texas (BB-35) that will be auctioned to help raise funds to preserve our historic Dreadnought.
The mission of the Battleship Texas Artisans group is to:
- Engage and team with artisans to raise funds to help preserve the Battleship Texas for future generations;
- Advance the cause and works of the Battleship Texas Foundation in operating, preserving, and restoring our historic Battleship Texas;
- Promote the skills and products of all of our Artisans.
Meet The Artisans
David Peart
I am a volunteer on the Battleship Texas, and a student blacksmith. I saw an opportunity to engage with artisans to help celebrate the dry dock and restoration of our historic Battleship Texas (BB-35) by using recovered materials to create unique pieces of art to help raise funds for the ship’s preservation. I formed this group with help from Frank, Kelly, and Fred from the North Texas Blacksmith Association. It has grown beyond my wildest expectations, I am proud of each and every one of our artisans for stepping up and volunteering their time and skills to this effort!
