Intricate and precise twined copper wire interspaced with hammered ends formed into striking shapes. Each vessel conveys a sense of peace, innovation, and order.
Very fine copper wire is twined around heavier gauge copper spokes. Different colored wire is gradually added to the five or more strands being twined to give unique and interesting color to the vessel. Each spoke, made of varying gauges of copper wire, is individually forged. The bead-appearing tip of the spoke is melted copper.
