bespoke copper weathervanes England
since 1995
Welcome
to Greens Weathervanes. We are art metal workers with a passion
for the custom copper weathervane as a three-dimensional, expressive
form. Inspired by the 2,000 year old history of the craft, we
embrace the playful and the sublime in equal measure. Heirloom-quality
with robust functionality, but with all the nuance, texture
and grace to catch the eye... That's "greensvanes".
Set up first on the island of Martha's Vineyard in 1995, for
over 30 years we have had the joy to work
one-on-one with private clients to create personal hallmark
designs. More recently the work has engaged with architects,
curators and designers for
landmark projects like Windsor Great Park's Mezel Hill Barns,
Oxford's Harris Manchester University, and the American Museum
in Britian.. Despite weathervanes gracing buildings across England
(and in 21 countries worldwide), we remain a niche artisan studio,
steadfastly geared to promoting a collaborative relationship
with our clients, capturing their ideas, and bringing them to
life. Pristinely hand-made in England from the finest sheet
copper, brass &
bronze with 231/2
K English Gold Leaf and sculpted without molds...explore what
we can make for you. Welcome to the wonderful world of www.greensvanes.co.uk

"
a fluid, almost living work of art
which changes daily with the weather.
It glistens, it glides, it is majestic, simple,
elegant and quite frankly stunning."T.B.,

The
American Museum in Britain commissions monumental
Lady Liberty
& here's
what the Crafts Council said
"....to underline the fact that folk art in the UK
is alive and kicking, the museum’s commissioned a brand
new copper weathervane depicting Liberty
brandishing the Stars and Stripes in one hand and a sword
in the other by sculptors Karen and Gordon Green."

Embracing Design as Collaboration:
Most
private clients come with a distinct theme already in mind.
That is a great starting point but not always necessary.
Working with the studio to develop an idea from scratch
is how a deeply meaningful heirloom is created.

Studio-led
Design:
The Art of
Play and the Artist's Oeuvre
As artist's
we try to push independent design alongside the bespoke
work, dedicating a small portion of the studio week to more
experimental or passion pieces. The artists debut 5 new
designs each year. These designs are outside of their commission
work and tend to be more exploratory. New work is usually
relevant to a "line of study"or the focussing
on capturing a type of movement, character or movement.
