For years, Hanes Hoffman has been creating custom copperwork for clients who want something they cannot find anywhere else. His work ranges from highly detailed fish and sea life to wildlife, sculptural pieces, and architectural work such as custom copper range hoods.

 

Each piece is made by hand in his studio, drawing on years of experience working with copper and an understanding of how to shape the material into something with real character.

While fish and marine life are an important part of Bluewater Copper Works, the work extends well beyond them. Hanes creates pieces for a wide range of interiors, from coastal homes and lake houses to mountain properties, city residences, restaurants, clubs, and hospitality spaces.

 

For designers, that means the starting point can be almost anything: a particular species, an architectural feature, a photograph, or an idea you've been looking for but haven't been able to find.

Working with Hanes begins with a conversation about the project and what you have in mind.

 

Send photographs, drawings, dimensions, or reference material, and he'll work with you to determine what can be made, how it should be sized, and what the finished piece will require.

 

Once the details are settled, Hanes builds the piece by hand in copper and keeps you involved along the way. The process is personal, direct, and built around making sure the finished work is right for your client.
