Cobre is a Fair Trade company and has been "Fairly Traded" since 1994. We currently work with 7 different workshops that employ 1 to 7 artisans. Most of the people in the workshops are related: fathers, sons, uncles, cousins. Each workshop has its own style. One shop makes only small pieces, maximum 3 high, while another prefers to work in organic forms; pears, apples, gourds, squashes. Ramon's work is extremely fine with thin walls, while Antonio's work is thick-walled and monumental. Each piece is proudly signed by its creator.
We are delighted to introduce Anselmo Miranda. Anselmo's father, Ramiro Miranda, worked for us in the early 1990's and retired a few years ago. We have been working with Anselmo for several years to recreate some of his father's patterns and develop new ones, like our copper tile series. Anselmo was born in Santa Clara in May 1972 and has spent his whole life in the village. He has 2 sisters and 5 brothers, one of whom Augustin works in a sink workshop, like Anselmo did previous to working for me.
