coppersmiths

Kettlemakers by trade

Coppersmiths are metalworkers who specialize in shaping copper into useful or decorative objects—pots, pans, pipes, roofing, jewelry.

The trade requires hammering, cutting, and joining copper sheets, often while heated.

Though largely displaced by industrial manufacturing, coppersmiths still practice their craft for restoration work and artisanal pieces.
