About Stephanie Hopkins

Stephanie Hopkins creates unique and individual pieces from copper and brass. Handmade patinated jewellery, hand raised copper vessels and decorative pieces for the home inspired by nature. She uses traditional metalsmithing techniques and processed including etching and patination. She has a passion for using copper and brass, manipulating the surface of the metal to create something unique and one of a kind.

Why did you start making your products?

I've always had a interest in being creative and through my university course I was able to explore many different areas, but metalwork was where my passion really grew.

What inspires your products or collections?

Nature is a big inspiration in my work, the ever changing forms and colours. In my more recent jewellery collection I have also been inspired by Art deco forms.

What is the best thing someone has said about your products?

That they are unique and they've never seen anything like it before!

What is your favourite product/collection, and why?

I love to make my copper vessels, they were one of the first products I made 12 years ago and they've come such a long way since then. Each finished one still surprises me.
