Weathervanes

"Jumping Horse with Rider Weathervane" Per our customer’s request, the Jumping Horse and Rider weathervane featured in this photo was made in all copper with no gold leaf or brass accents. Because our vanes are made to order, we can make each weathervane according to our customer’s preferences. The all copper weather vane is very traditional. The use of brass in the sculpture piece complements the brass directionals (north, south, east and west arms). Gold leaf accents create a bolder, more distinctive contrast between all the various elements that comprise the weathervane. The Jumping Horse weathervane with Rider featured here was made in the extra-large size (four feet from tip of nose to end of tail) for a large indoor riding area on the east coast. It was done in a combination of copper and brass although we often add gold leafed accents (mane, tail, rider's face, hands, boots or saddle blanket, etc). Our Jumping Horse weathervane (shown to the right) features a vane where the gold leafing was added.

We are one of only a handful of artists anywhere in the world producing handcrafted copper weather vanes. Our specialty is doing custom design work and portrait weather vanes. We use the difficult ‘free form’ and ‘repoussé’ techniques to create these high quality sculptures. No molds are used so each piece is slightly different from any others that we make. Because each one is finely crafted and completely unique, they will very probably become collector’s items that should increase in value as they age and acquire their lovely and distinctive greenish patina.

Our rapidly expanding line currently includes over 600 different designs ranging from aquatic to animal, bird, human, mythological and transportation related designs. The diversity of work, new technical challenges and variety of customers with whom we have worked keeps our interest and enthusiasm high. We are currently celebrating close to 20 years of weather vane making and love what we do even more today than we did the day we started.
