Copper Pea Pod

I really enjoyed creating this piece for the icebreaker task as the brief was so open to interpretation. I decided to design a vessel to accommodate sugar snap peas and took direct inspiration from their form to make the piece. I made five small copper bowls with a 20mm diameter and bound them to two lengths of copper wire bent into the shape of a pea pod. Due to the binding wire, the piece doesn’t rock back and forth as I had hoped it would but if I were to make it again, I would allow for the piece to be more mobile by using rivets or soldering joints.
