Copper

Copper artistry from Santa Clara del Cobre is a fusion of fire, strength, and tradition.

Nestled in the mountains of Michoacán, this town has been shaping copper for centuries, long before the Spanish arrived. Originally practiced by the Purépecha people , copper work in Santa Clara has survived conquest, colonization, and time itself.

Each piece is still hand-forged by master artisans who, with heat and hammer, transform raw copper into forms of timeless elegance and character. Without molds or machines, they bring metal to life using ancestral techniques that are passed down from generation to generation.

More than craft, it is a living heritage — where every strike of the hammer echoes with history, identity, and resilience.
