Jerry Adams
Thanks for taking time to view my work. My name is Jerry Adams and I have been making Steampunk style lamps for 6 years. I am retired & living in Charleston, West Virginia with my wife Jan, and this is a hobby we both enjoy.
I first saw a lamp online, really liked it and thought I could create something similar. After watching a 'how to' video online for wiring lamps & purchasing a set of pipe wrenches at a yard sale, my plan was in motion.
Finding original parts & pieces for this first lamp was a challenge. Steam gauges, gears, water meters, pipes & bulbs took searching flea markets, thrift shops & online resources. I was able to successfully bring the old back to light and complete my first project, the lamp seen here, and it's one I still own and treasure in my personal collection.
Fast forward to today and I have created quite a few works, acquiring contacts & suppliers for parts from all over the world, and still enjoying the thrill & hunt of finding a piece of history and bringing it into a new light & life for people to enjoy.
I currently show & sell locally at book stores, galleries & art shows.
