Copper Sculptures, Gifts & Jewellery by Shalini Austin

Hello! Lovely to see you here 🙂

I am a self taught metalsmith and I make Copper things. I hand-craft decorative copper items and metal jewellery.

My work is mostly inspired by nature and things I see around me. And of course by my customers who give me the encouragement to learn more, craft more and create new designs.
