I began my basket making with copper because I enjoyed working with metal. Copper was readily available, inexpensive as scrape from local manufacturing companies, extremely malleable, durable, easy to solder with low-temperature equipment, and could I generate numerous colors inherent to copper with the application of simple chemical formulas or heat.
Recycled materials, woven copper, chemical patina, polychrome 6” x 6.5” x 7”.
