Woven Copper Wall Art 2

Woven Copper Wall hanging

Mike created this woven copper wall hanging for a return client from Nashville. She is an art buyer for health care facilities who had purchased a piece similar to this one a couple of years ago. It went to a hospital in Colorado. She told Mike her heart was set on another piece, and he went to work immediately.

The process is much like weaving textile, except copper doesn’t give in the same way that fibers do. Each piece was planned out and cut to fit, then the project was woven together, reinforced, colored with intense heat, and given a hard wax finish. The result was a beautifully unique piece of art with a long life of spreading joy and wonder.
