OUTDOOR COPPERWORKS: CUSTOM YARD & BUILDING

Special projects like these give me most pleasure. Once I start, I have difficulty stopping, even to eat.
They capture all my talents, and challenge me to something that's never been done in copper before. I'll have fun all along the way.

ABOUT THE SECRET COPPER SHOP
NEW MILFORD, CONNECTICUT. LITCHFIELD COUNTY, USA.

Al Ferris CoppersmithI 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.

The Secret Copper Shop has been privileged and honored in having it's copperworks included in the product-line of merchandise offered by Good Directions. I have worked closely with the Lodatos in working out designs, concepts and prototypes for items that their customers would enjoy and cherish. As an artisan, I can appreciate the quality of the craftsmanship that is put into each and every piece that is available from their worldwide network of distributors. I so firmly attest to this that I became a Good Directions Distributor myself.

There are occasions when the price of a custom copper piece is not in the family or business budget. I welcome the opportunity to serve as your Authorized Dealer for Good Directions merchandise, and encourage you to give a call when "shopping around" - I have full-access to the Good Directions line of yard and home copper merchandise and welcome the opportunity of talking with you about any particular piece. Some of my favorite pieces are listed on this website.
