Description: Mission Ramshackle’s calling is to blend the ageless qualities of generations past while embracing technology to preserve and progress the American handcrafted tradition. We strive to provide timeless products and custom services that reflect honesty, integrity, and honor. Summary Ramshackle: Domestic Goods and Services (Ramshackle, R: DG&S), founded in October of 2011, is the brainchild of artist/designer Dustin B. McGilvray. Mr. McGilvray established Ramshackle in order to preserve and promote the tradition of ceramic craft in America by melding time honored methods with advanced technologies. “Ramshackle: Establishing New Traditions with Timeless Products” Ramshackle: Domestic Goods and Services strive to blend the best of the “greatest generation” with the best technology our current generation has to offer. Any customer of Ramshackle should see this meld in the marksmanship of the product’s timelessness, casualness, honesty, and simplicity. This basic goal allows us to preserve and advance the craft tradition while embracing technological advances, and providing a better alternative for individuals seeking unique, high-quality, handmade, products and services. R: DG&S intends to develop a premier line of ceramic and glass goods along with other deliverables for the consumer to use in their homes and special events. These product lines are the result of Mr. McGilvray’s experience of over twelve years in the ceramic and sculptural mediums and a lifetime of artistic expression. R: DG&S will offer high quality porcelain, stoneware, and glass goods featuring distinct designs, surface treatments, and unlimited customizability. R: DG&S believes these unique designs and custom options will afford them an exclusive advantage over the competition. Furthermore, the ability to design, manufacture, and customize on site will allow for extensive additional sales opportunities in various wholesale and retail markets.
