Colorado Copperworks
is nestled in the mountain range of the historic town of Manitou
Springs, Colorado.
The Studio has been making specialty glassware for more than a decade. Our process uses a combination of ancient glass making techniques developed by the Romans combined with modern materials. Our unique process involves the hand cutting of copper wire and mesh to create the design. The copper is then fused in between several pieces of hand cut clear glass. This layering of glass and copper creates a special dimensionality and texture to the design. The copper when exposed to heat in this way develops subtle variations in hue and color. Some pieces also employ colored glass oxides or enamels. These oxides are applied in very subtle ways to achieve slight color definition. The final step is to slump the piece into its final shape. Every vessel we make requires dozens of hours to complete. Some pieces are designed to be used as window or door inserts, wall panels and even table tops. Colorado Copperworks only makes one of a kind, limited edition, numbered works. Each vessel comes with a serial numbered card of authenticity.
