Even someone who is not a trained artist can make beautiful art from just the love of the material. After spending so much time installing copper, in a functional way, plumber Bob Kiley began 18 years ago making small objects from copper pipes and fittings. Bob has said, even as a kid he loved making things out of everyday objects, giving something a new purpose, possibly better than before. Known as upcycling.
upcycling- where old products are given more value not less
Pure copper { symbol Cu } is soft and malleable; a freshly exposed surface has a reddish-orange color. It is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, a building material, and a constituent of various metal alloys.
