Coppersmithing is an ancient craft that has played a significant role in Britain’s history, with skilled artisans creating a wide range of functional and decorative objects, from cookware to architectural details. The art of shaping and working copper by hand requires both precision and creativity, but this traditional skill is now endangered due to the rise of mass production and alternative materials. Preserving coppersmithing is crucial for keeping history alive, as it reflects centuries of craftsmanship and innovation in metalwork. By supporting the few remaining coppersmiths, we help ensure that this important craft and the knowledge behind it are passed down to future generations, safeguarding a valuable part of Britain’s cultural and industrial heritage.
