Wind Chime Artist

Unique designs using glass, beach stones, copper and wood. Inspired by the beauty of the beach glass his youngest son collected on the local beaches, artist Tim Kline worked to perfect a method to produce his own 'beach-type' glass that he now uses extensively in his work. He also uses local driftwood, beach stones, pebbles, red cedar and other natural materials.
The wind is not always blowing, so artist Tim Kline believes wind chimes should be about more than just sound: They should also look great!

Using his own beach glass inspired stained glass, copper, red cedar and other interesting beautiful materials, Tim designs and handcrafts stunningly beautiful works of art that go far beyond most wind chimes.

Why choose just a wind chime, when you could own wind chime art?


Rust is beautiful. So instead of copper, for the wind chimes , Tim has chosen iron chimes with a beautiful patina of rust.




Carefully selected Pacific driftwood is used to create these works that reflect the beaches they were gathered from.





Tim Kline is an Artist living on the Pacific coast of British Columbia. His work is inspired by the beauty of the natural environment he calls home. Visit the site of West coast Chimes, and enjoy this local artists works.

These are not just wind chimes! These are works of art like sculptures! It's a far cry from these humble wind spinner!

I totally agree with this blog, wind chimes are art, not just pretty decorations. I create mine using intuition and the principales of Feng Shui!
