Andy Brinkley Studio

Initially a blacksmith, Andy began to utilize various metals and has specialized in brass and copper for the past 40+ years. Andy started working out of a small basement shop and today our studio is on a rural woodland nestled in the Appalachian foothills of North Carolina. Whether tending to his gardens or sculpting at his bench, Andy’s love and appreciation of nature is evident. Forest and marsh foliage are central themes of much of our work. Corporate clients have included McDonald’s, Dupont, Wachovia, Georgia Pacific Paper Company, Boone Dermatology and the North Carolina Western Govenor’s Mansion, among others. Our work is represented in several mail-order / online catalogs and may be seen in craft galleries and garden shops across the country. With master craftsman Mark Shrum and wife Suzanne Shrum, the studio operates Monday through Thursday or by appointment. We welcome visitors to stop in and take a tour when they’re in the area.
