Oxidized "Splash" Copper

Native copper is used to make these artistic free-form sculptures.  No two are alike and the shapes are open to many different visual interpretations.

Splash Copper is made by pouring molten copper at 2200 degrees F onto a flat surface.  When the shapes are cooled, a green or turquoise-colored chemical patina is applied.  Then hightlights are buff polished to expose the glowing solid copper underneath.  The sculptures are sprayed to preserve the finish and to prevent the copper from tarnishing.
