About Us
Did you know American copper cookware production had all but disappeared until a few short years ago?
Sara started House Copper because she wanted to bring it back (also she researches way too much).
Everyone should have one solid pot or kettle in their kitchen that will not only perform properly but also last untold generations.
Watch Our Episodes!
Our House Copper channel includes videos about cooking (especially in copper!), baking, and life around the mini-farm, but also a lot about working in the copper shop. Sara gives little-shown tips, tricks, and challenges to being a full-fledged coppersmith. From building cookware, repairing and retinning to tool care and the science behind it all, there’s a bit of everything for everyone!
Read Blog. Learn Lots!
When not in the copper shop restoring, building, or re-tinning cookware, Sara is a novelist and writer. You can find her fiction and non-fiction books through all traditional ways, but the blog posts are definitely shorter than a whole book. Plus, there’s usually riveting discussion about…rivets. And recipes. And fire. And…you get the idea.
As Seen In...
You can find Sara in all kinds of places!
Yes, on and in the 2020 winter catalogue of Duluth Trading Company, but also on NBC’s The TODAY Show, with Lidia Bastianich on PBS, via TEDx, or in Martha Stewart, FORBES, SHAPE Magazine, Midwest Living, Beekman 1802 Almanac, Food & Wine, and many more.
Buy the Book!
Pick up a copy of Copper Iron and Clay: A Smith’s Journey (William Morrow / HarperCollins), a full-color, hardcover homage to the history, science, use and care of our basic, original cookware, plus recipes.
