Fallon Fountain

This classic Green Man-style fountain is based on the client’s own face. I took photos, and the client came after the clay model was almost complete for a final sitting.

I did my best to get all the channels the exact same depth in the studio, and then filed them to their final depth on site with the fountain running. It took a while, but I eventually got them right. Too deep, and the flow is faster. Too shallow, slower. They had to be exact.

The copper lining insures that the stone stays dry. Damp stone would not be good in a home.

We also did the arches in the doorway, and the keystones. The keystones feature images of conquistadors facing each other.

A copper pipe brought the water far enough out that it cleared the stone. Working with creative clients is always a pleasure.
