THANK YOU for stopping by the Metal Sculpture Studios of Cincinnati Ohio.
My name is James Perkins.
I am a Designer, Sculptor and Artist. I create unique indoor and outdoor metal sculpture, commercial sculpture, architectural metal sculpture, metal wall art, hand forged chandeliers, metal furnishings, functional art, metal furniture and metal decor for your home, business, galleries, house of worship, public art domains and professional settings.
I offer a one of a kind craftsmanship in American Metal Art and Metal Sculpture incorporating skills from traditional to contemporary metal crafting arts. I seek projects that will stimulate creativity to develop heirloom art work and decor.
Unlike others, I create and manufacture all projects myself. This is to ensure firm communication and the up most quality at every step involved creating truly authentic art. I work with Aluminum, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Ornamental Iron, Inconel, Steel, Structural Steel, Stainless Steels, Titanium and Zinc. I keep my clients involved and informed during every stage of our commissioned build.
My focus is on creating one of a kind pieces and seek clients wishing the same.
I look forward to beginning a project with you!

For adam's End TableI commissioned Jim to make custom metal benches. He was super responsive and communicative. We spoke about the benches and he immediately understood my vision and turned it into reality. He is a true craftsman and I would use him again. He also went above and beyond to make sure the benches arrived before xmas and did an amazing job packing the benches for shipping. I cannot recommend Jim more highly. Reach out to him - you will not be disappointed!

For Script Metal House Numbers | Address SignI couldn’t recommend James more... When we couldn’t initially identify a font type I liked, he brought in a new font, which required retooling his process in order to accommodate me. His communication was top-notch. The finished product...“BEAUTIFUL!”

Ebony G Patterson
For Ebony G's BenchI love James ! I had a last minute very complicated project and everyone I approached told me what I wanted was impossible ! But James said I see what you want but we have to shift a few things to make it work ! That’s what I loved about working with him the most he saw how to make it happen and he did . He drove all the way from Cincinnati to Kansas City to deliver this for me overnight because of our tight deadline. I am soooo grateful to have worked with him and I learned a lot from him in he process ! ????????????????

For coat rackJames was so attentive and kept us informed with pictures and ideas during the whole build process. The coat rack we asked for is simply stunning. We asked for seamless joints with no screws showing, and James came up with a brilliant and beautiful idea to wrap pounded copper bands around the joint areas. It turned out magnificent and SO one-of-a-kind! We love it! Shannon D.
Priscilla Lurz
For Priscilla's plagueI am happy with the metal sculpture James created. We communicated regularly during the work of the project. He honestly made the process relatively painless, as I am not an artist and must admit I needed some helpful suggestions along the way in order to visualize ideas. Thanks, Jim for a job well done.
