Buddy Holmes is the owner of Waterfall Forge and has been making copper waterfalls, garden fountains and other copper art for homes and businesses for almost 17 years. His work has been recognized nationally on Home and Garden Televisions "Modern Masters" series.

He has demonstrated his craft for the Mississippi Forge Council's Annual Conference and was one of the main demonstrators at the Alabama Forge Councils' Tannehill Annual Conference. The Tannehill Conference is one of the largest gatherings of metalsmiths and blacksmiths in the United States.

Buddy's shop is always open for people who would like to visit and watch work being done or would like to learn to work with copper themselves. (call ahead)

This is the Waterfall Forge studio (shop) in Prairieville, LA. It is nestled in amongst the trees and surrounded by a small bayou. Below this picture are some photos of blacksmiths who drove in from Mississippi to visit and work at the shop one day.
