The Process
The picture above shows 5 members of the family working at the same time, which is necessary on big pieces
We use recycled copper to make our vases. Using scrap electric wire and melting into copper ingots. The ingots, which look like hard fat pancakes, are heated and hand-hammered repeatedly until the sides begin to rise. Then begin the laborious process of shaping the piece.
No soldering, casting, machinery or molds are used in this process, and because of this, each vessel is unique. Instead we use homemade hammers, anvils, and stakes. We slowly coax the hard metal into taking a form by first softening it with fire and then placing the piece on a stake and hand hammering until the piece begins to harden. This process is repeated over and over again until the desired shape is achieved.
