ARTHUR'S ROOSTER WEATHERVANE
Arthur was very determined to find a rooster in a particular stance. He paid particular attention to whether the head would be looking up or forward. We traded a few sketches, sought outside advice, and met at a terrific pose...

COPPER MAILBOXES
Nearly all "handmade" mailboxes I see on the internet are stamped out... mine are hand-crafted, starting from an idea. I design these for pole, pillar, hanger or on-the-house set-ups and mounting.

ABOUT THE SECRET COPPER SHOP
NEW MILFORD, CONNECTICUT. LITCHFIELD COUNTY, USA.
I began my craft during the long cold winter evenings in the barnshop in the backyard... many, many years ago. All of my pieces are one-of-a-kind. As an artisan, I simply concentrate on creating the finest pieces I can for those interested in purchasing my work - custom designing and rendering pieces which are truly unique.
I create each piece individually. There are no stock numbers. No standard lists of items available. Each work in copper is unique and hand-crafted. If you see something you like, feel free to contact me directly and I will arrange for you to view the item, or I can custom design one specifically for you. My designs look equally "at home" in contemporary or traditional settings, indoors and outside. I custom craft copper to match your particular needs and imagination - from copper lighting fixtures to garden ornaments to copper wall sculptures.
Please feel invited to call, visit or to arrange for an appointment to meet to discuss a particular project you may have in mind. Although I generally accept commission work directly from individuals, dealer and gallery inquiries are always welcomed.
My copper works fit very comfortably in traditional folk art, Americana and home-specialty shops and galleries. Sculpture, design and copper work costs available on request. Remember, copper makes sense outdoors. Whereas wood will weather and crack, iron and steel will rust, and plastic becomes brittle, copper ages to a beautiful green verdigris patina. Please give a call if you have any questions. Enjoy the website.

"LOOKING FOR A COPPER WEATHERVANE, GARDEN ORNAMENT, WINDCHIMES OR BUILDING CUPOLA...
THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE CUSTOM BUILT?"
Custom-crafted copper work has it's price. It involves planning, interaction with clients, special materials, and - of course - the hours of studio work to create the piece. For my custom-work clients, the costs involved are well-worth the final product... unique and one-of-a-kind. On the other hand, I (as many) simply have a passion for copper and what it brings to a landscape, home or decor.
