Copper Fountains:

Copper fountains have been around for many years. This copper fountain craft has been passed down for generations. Copper fountains are unique with a certain style and complexity. Hand-crafted copper fountains have basic overall shapes that are repeated but no two pieces are ever alike. Copper fountains are hammered and the decorative shapes change with each new sculpture. The effects of acid-washed verdigris color also changes with each copper fountain design. Add soft lighting and natural stone to the shimmering copper fountain for designs that are pleasing to the eye and soothe the spirit.

Copper fountains are usually hand crafted from a solid sheet of copper. The copper fountains are welded together to produce a kind of sculpture that will last a lifetime. The copper can be shaped by the artist and bent and curved in the copper fountain so that the water is channeled to slide, skip and twist, harnessing and freeing all at once.

Like fine wine, copper fountains become more beautiful with age, the green patina created by Mother Nature herself adds tints and hues forming mystifying patterns.

Copper fountains can be enjoyed anywhere. There is always a place for a copper fountain that provides the relaxing sounds of gently flowing water, like the sound of a mountain stream.
