Description: Someone worked with copper. A coppersmith, also known as a redsmith, is a person who makes artifacts from copper. The term redsmith comes from the color of copper. Examples include jewelry, sculptures, plates and cookware, jugs, vases, trays, frames, rose bowls, cigarette boxes, tobacco jars, overmantels, fenders, decorative panels, tea and coffee pots, awnings, light fixtures, fountains, range hoods, cupolas, and stills. Copper is generally considered to be a soft metal, meaning it can be worked without heating. Over a period of working the metal in this way it can 'work harden'.
