The Artist

Known to many as “Big Steve”, Steve Eldridge has been creating since the age of 10, when he called the telephone operator to find out how to make fried shrimp. While he has built a myriad of artistic items to complement his home, his longtime passion was to create with copper. After a request from his wife to design a copper fountain for the backyard, everyone who saw it had to have one. And so it began…

Steve uses copper and other metals, paua shells, glass and various treasures to create custom fountains, yard ornaments, as well as indoor artwork and jewelry. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind. His passion is to craft unique pieces for people to enjoy and bring a smile to their faces.
