The Shine Of Copper
The Play On Metal of Patina and Light
Fire undulates hypnotically in a strong black forge.
Our artisan plunges a raw piece of metal, cold, unrealized, and eager to be worked, deep into the flames.
He wields time like he wields tools until the metal is perfectly ready.
Art and beauty, now released out of the joyfully intense glowing metal by hammer blows both soft and strong.
The plain, rough piece of metal on a shop table now shimmers with light and newfound purpose.
Copper Tableware
Spoons of copper and steel are an aesthetic delight. From delicate salt spoons, to coffee scoops, to large ladles, Ashton brings functional art to the place we need it most: the kitchen.
But that is the beginning.
Copper vases to hold your spring flowers.
Copper pencil cups merrily lining a shelf.
A custom insulated coffee mug that will never be confused with a co-worker’s mass produced vessel.
The Meta Of Tools
What is more meta than an artisan using his tools to make tools?
If you, too, are an artisan and need a specific tool, let Ashton know.
Copper Jewelry
Copper is purportedly good for the joints and many blacksmiths swear by them (Could blacksmiths be wrong? We think not.). Ashton designs bracelets both elegant and whimsical.
