Video Tour of The First Metal: Arts & Crafts Copper

The First Metal: Arts & Crafts Copper is the first exhibition to focus on copper metalwork in the Arts and Crafts movement in the United Kingdom and the United States, with additional works from Germany, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Drawing on the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art’s Margo Grant Walsh Twentieth Century Silver and Metalwork Collection and several private and museum loans, the exhibition presents a range of handwrought copper works by many of the premier Arts and Crafts metalsmiths working in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
