Happy May! This month we are spotlighting one of our amazing clients; Bradshaw Designs. At Texas Lightsmith we love the creativity that designers bring to us on their projects. Julie Bradshaw and her team at Bradshaw Designs is always a pleasure working with. Over the years we have had an amazing collaborative relationship and can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Its always a treat when we find out our hand crafted products hit a major publication. Last summer our custom light fixtures (Wall Sconce model: DJWS) were featured in a Gun & Garden Magazine article about a little known watering hole in our own backyard of Central Texas. These hand crafted (in our local Austin Studio) wall sconces are formed from sheets of Mica and strips of copper to form a conical light fixture.

Chimney caps are a great way to dress up a home. While chimney caps serve a necessary function by protecting the open flue of a chimney from the elements and critters while and acting as a spark arrestor, they can also have an impressive impact on the overall appearance of a home as an architectural detail.
Texas Lightsmith manufactures chimney caps from copper, brass, bronze, nickel silver, mild steel and stainless steel. We tend to use thicker material and a heavy woven mesh with fully welded construction for a product that will last for many years as it graces the roof line. As we make all products to order, customization of size, shape, and design are all possibilities.

It’s been an amazing journey working with the Blanton Museum of Art on Ellsworth Kelly’s “Austin”. We are proud to be a small locally owned, locally operated business, who employs local craftsmen & artisans who are paid living wages. We share our excitement with the Art community that “Austin” is open and that our company and team helped spot light world renowned art for generations to come.
Caught in the act, Jonathan and John collaborate to make the mundane items in our lives purpose driven art for generations to come. Come see our purpose driven art. www.texaslightsmith.com
