Copper is the most important metal of our country, however the handmade pieces are scarce (like the handicraft in Bronze). With an essentially urban character, the techniques of embossing, hammering and enamel for decoration and jewelery objects stand out.

Glassfusion is the technique of melting and superimposing one or more glasses using an oven at high temperatures. This can be realized with the contribution of different colored pigments, enamelled paints, ground glass, glass wires, etc.

Through recycling from magazines, tetra pak and even newspapers, these unique pieces are made, that stand out for their quality and innovation. Also full with a strong message to contribute to a new way of life, to those who love our planet and with their way of being contribute to a less polluted world.
