abstraction • collage • fine craft

 

studio157 is a one woman copper studio in Richmond, Virginia

copper abstractions, leaf portraits, collage totems and hand-forged copper are expertly crafted using industrial grade copper, hand-harvested leaves, found objects, and a variety of acids, bases, and solvent dyes to create intricate patina abstractions.

explorations in enamel bring fired color to coordinate with patina renderings. shop now for free-moving ornaments and copper tassels, enameled mirror frames and more.

functional and fun copper leaf hooks and collage totems are made seasonally as green leaves emerge and are rendered in patina on copper. copper mirrors are designed to bring nature and color into your decor, rendered with leaf patinas, enamels, and abstract solvent dyes.
