The artist's studio is located in Louisiana and is nestled in amongst the trees and surrounded by a small bayou.

The artist, Buddy Holmes, has been making copper waterfalls, fountains, and other copper art for homes and businesses for almost 14 years. His work has been recognized nationally on Home and Garden Televisions "Modern Masters" series.  He has demonstrated his craft for the Mississippi Forge Council's Annual Conference and just recently was one of the main demonstrators at the Alabama Forge Councils' Tannehill Annual Conference. The Tannehill Conference is one of the largest gatherings of metalsmiths and blacksmiths in the United States.

Buddy's shop is always open for people who would like to visit and watch work being done or would like to learn to work with copper themselves. (call ahead).  Below is the artist doing a final wash on one of his custom creations.

 

Below are some photos of blacksmiths who drove in from Mississippi to visit and work at the shop one day.
