The Process
The designs are traced onto sheet copper then hand cut and hand formed. The
piece is then torched and the bare copper changes to reds, oranges and yellows. All pieces with browns have an oil splattered onto the
surface that turns to browns when heated with a torch. A final coat of gloss enamel protects and seals the copper.
The
Compass Rose and the 5 Elements are created with an etching process. After the circles are cut they are masked off with a design
and placed in an acid bath. The exposed copper is dissolved, leaving a raised image. An antiquing patina is applied and a final coat of
gloss enamel
protects and seals the copper.
