Massey Copper produces fine copper garden art and hosts workshops taught by Master Coppersmith Walter Massey.  Over the past 30 years, Walter has combined various work experiences, including aircraft welder and blacksmith shop production manager, with his undergraduate and graduate studies in psychology, literature, and art to develop his craft as metal smith and teacher.  Particularly drawn to copper for its flexibility and versatility, he has developed his own techniques to produce large metal sculpture and bring that traditionally functional medium further into the realm of fine art.

Walter's current passions are teaching the art of copper fabrication and creating versatile fine garden art panels (primarily in uniquely organic tree and branch forms) for the architectural enhancement of garden, home, and workspaces.  In addition to designing and completing commissioned copper sculptural pieces, he presents art center and craft show demonstrations of his work processes.

We welcome visitors and students alike at our Massey Copper studio in Port Townsend, Washington, where we conduct our copper sculpture workshops and display pieces reserved in Walter's private collection.  For now, though, why not wander through our site to learn and see more?
