bronzesmiths
Alloy-shaping artisans
Bronzesmiths are craftspeople who work with bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.
The term appears primarily in historical contexts—ancient bronzesmiths cast weapons, tools, and decorative objects.
Like blacksmith and goldsmith, the word combines the material with the Old English word for a metal worker.
