MODERN WALL DECOR

Dimensional metal wall art created using the same techniques used by metalworkers for centuries. Each piece is an original, one-of-a-kind design, sculpted by hand from copper, bronze, brass, and other metals in Raleigh, North Carolina. These unique wall sculptures add character and style to residential and commercial spaces.

UNIQUE ORIGINAL ART

100% HANDMADE

Original art handcrafted in metal using manual metalworking processes like forging, embossing, sheet metal forming, welding, repoussé and chasing. With hammers, anvils, torches and other hand tools, metal is moved almost like clay to create one-of-a-kind artwork with depth, texture and relief.

Unlike cookie-cutter products made in a factory, each piece of handmade art is unique. You’re not getting the same thing as everyone else—there isn’t a production line turning out copies. When you buy handmade, you’re choosing something as distinctive as the person who owns it.

Each piece is hand-built from copper, bronze, brass, or steel using forging, forming and fabrication methods.

COMMISSIONS & SPECIAL ORDERS

CUSTOM METALWORK

Commissioning a piece of art is a simple process even if you've never done it before. Custom work can start with as little as a rough idea or may be based on existing designs adapted to a different size, material or finish. Projects range from decorative metal artwork to sculpture and functional objects.

Share a few details about your idea, display space, the size you need, and the look you want. Include photos or sketches if you have them. Early design discussions and ballpark estimates are free. Most projects take several weeks to a few months, depending on complexity. Work can be shipped within the US or delivered locally.
