Custom Metal Sculptures, Welded by Hand by Corey Ellis
One of one welded copper, steel, and mixed-metal sculpture for private collectors, interior designers, hotels, restaurants, and commercial spaces. Send your wall dimensions and a few reference photos, and Corey will reply personally with whether a commission is the right fit.
Two decades of welded metal work shipped to private collectors, interior designers, film and television productions, hotels, and commercial spaces on nearly every continent.
A studio practice in welded metal
Corey Ellis builds original sculpture from copper, steel, masonry nails, and mixed metals. The work pulls from mid-century modern silhouettes, brutalist surfaces, sculptural metalwork traditions, and the energy of mid-20th century pop art.
Every piece is welded in the studio. Nothing is cast in editions and nothing is mass produced. When a sculpture leaves the shop, it leaves once.

What collectors and clients say
"Corey created an awesome brutalist piece for our mid century remodel. He customized the size for us - we needed something 8 feet across, and vintage was hard to find at that size. I'm so happy with the piece Corey made. He was quick, efficient and professional. I was also impressed with the care and attention to detail in shipping the piece to us in Southern California. I highly recommend Corey, and I love all the compliments we receive when people come into our home."
"Corey made our Coaches special trophy's for the 2018 season. They were these amazing looking Footballs and Field Goals to scale to go along with them. He is an amazing Artist."
"Purchased a mid century modern brutalist sculpture for my 1950s ranch. It is just beautiful and beautifully made. It is difficult to find this type of art but Corey has a large selection on his Etsy store. Would recommend."
"Artistic excellence and professionalism combined. Own a future classic."
