Winged Camel Metalworks is a small metalworking studio located in the northern foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in New York State not far from the Canadian border. The studio has been owned and operated by Malcolm and Mary Ann Owen since 1976.
The artists work with copper, brass, gold, and sterling silver, creating clocks and other small household objects. Most works are a collaborative effort, with Mary Ann creating a theme and layout of the pieces and Malcolm working on the mechanical aspects of production. Both partners also independently create one-of-a-kind works. Mary Ann makes jewelry and small-scale sculptures, and Malcolm makes large sculptural and decorative work.
The products of Winged Camel Metalworks are unique in their design and craftsmanship. Each piece is entirely handmade from start to finish by the artists. The variations in patina and figure placement are considered desirable and normal, thus marking each piece as truly handcrafted.
