The Lovebug Collection
Whimsical winged creatures where torch-worked metal meets vivid, kiln-fired enamel. Each one is hand-formed and utterly one of a kind.
How It’s Made
Every piece begins as raw copper and ends as glowing, kiln-fired color. Three steps, all by hand.
Fire — Raw copper is shaped and heated with an oxy-acetylene torch until it’s ready to hold color.
Enamel — Powdered glass enamel is layered by hand across the metal, one careful pass at a time.
Fuse — In the kiln, glass and copper fuse into a single glowing surface — brilliant, permanent, and alive with light.
