John Rose has been working with various types of metal since his teens and has many years experience as a fabricator/welder. He works primarily with copper, sometimes using brass and other metals for accents. Starting with heavy gauge copper sheet, each piece is cut, hammered for texture and shape then carefully heated with a torch to beautiful rainbow like colors. With a very unique heating technique that brings the work to life with vibrant purples, blues and greens, as well as the reds and oranges usually associated with heated copper, each piece of artwork is unique in its own texture and color. No two are exactly alike.
