The wire “basket” component of each Copper Basket was hand-made by Josh using a specialized TIG welding technique that he taught himself. He collected strands of pure copper wire from various sources (including a defunct power plant), and shaped them into unique empty frames designed to hold the blown glass while also letting it bulge and expand through the openings. Some of the resulting works were then patina’d to age the copper wire and/or treated to create frosted glass.
