About Us
Copper water fountains handmade by Roberto Marquez.
All copper fountains are created by hand copper water fountains from 20 inches to over 7 feet tall. Each segment of my fountains is hand-cut, formed, and welded to create a unique water fountain. I start with a flat sheet of copper (4 feet by 8 feet), trace each section, then hand-cut each part out. I then form and mold each copper section into the desired shape. I then take each section and weld them together with a torch to create the fountain design. Once created I patina the leaves and stems and put a clear coat over the entire fountain. A 7-foot-tall water fountain takes 2 to 3 weeks to complete and has 200 individual copper parts in it. A 20-inch tall tabletop water takes a week to create and has 75 copper parts.
I create over 30 different hand-created water fountains from 20 inches to 7 feet tall. Includes tabletop size to medium size to 5 feet and 7 feet tall designs. I also have double-wall base fountains and various nature-inspired designs. Also, create dragonflies that can attach to the side of the fountains.
