About this Craftsperson

He has been featured on a few of Discovery Channel shows, such as National Geographic’s “Kal Penn’s The Big Picture” and “Moonshiners”.  PBS has also featured him in “The Craftsman’s Legacy”.  “Copper” Kelley is an energetic and experienced coppersmith with a world-renowned business.
