Andy Brinkley, a native of Virginia, has worked in metals for over two decades. Initially a blacksmith, Andy began to utilize various metals and came to specialize in brass and copper. He started by working out of a small basement shop. Today his studio is situated on ten acres of woodland nestled in the Appalachian foothills of North Carolina. Natural materials such as driftwood or shells have accented some of these pieces, and Andy has recently collaborated with two friends to combine high-fired pottery and copper. The results are small tabletop fountains.
