MORE ABOUT LAURA
I create, because it is in my soul to do so.
I live and work in a rustic A-frame cabin in a charming small town in the high desert of Central Oregon. I love riding my horses along the Deschutes River into the nearby national forest. I like to pretend I'm on vacation every day.

THE TECHY STUFF I form spoons using a technique called raising. Raising is the shaping of metal from a flat sheet into a hollow form by using specially designed hammers and stakes and proper placement of the hammer blows. After spoons are raised, they are shaped and handles are attached. |
.CARE
How to care for your functional spoon
Clean with warm soapy water, dry. Do not put in the dishwasher. The wood handle has been treated with flax seed oil and recommend to treat it with the same or coconut oil on occasion. The Copper is set in with a food grade epoxy and is safe up to 200f degrees. Avoid using copper utensils with foods containing vinegar, tomatoes or citrus fruits. If your copper shows any signs of verdigris, a greenish or bluish deposit on the copper, it is not food safe until it is cleaned.
How to care for your decorative spoon
Decorative spoons are not meant to be used for food. Placing on a shelf or hanging on the wall is the intention of the spoon, a symbol of a reminder to ask yourself what feeds your soul. Clean spoons by wiping with a moist cloth or by vacuuming them. The metals may be cleaned with a polishing cloth to bring back luster lost to tarnishing. By all means enjoy the natural patina if you like it!

THE ENAMELING PROCESS
Some of my spoons are enameled. Enameling is glass fused to metal at high heat. I sift powdered glass on both the front and backside of each copper piece and fire multiple times to achieve the layers I desire. Before the last layer is fired I scratch a design such as a flower or simple circles into the powered enamel exposing the layer underneath in a technique called sgraffito then fired to a high gloss. Enamel is not considered food safe.
