Lindsay Troutman is the creative mind and pair of soldering hands behind Copper & Torch. She is the mother of four lovely human beings; Adeline, Asher, Summit , & Sage. Her life is full beyond measure with creative endeavors from painting to knitting and everything in between, but glass has always been her favorite medium.

Lindsay has been working with glass for half her life. She loves taking something ordinary and flat and shaping it into something functional and beautiful. Her mission is to preserve beautiful specimens from lace, botanicals and papers in glass as an Archive of the past in a clean, minimal and modern way using traditional stained glass processes.

"I love working with glass because of the many dimensions and colors it reflects. When you wear it, the beauty and pigment of your skin shows through. When you place it on your window sill as a vase, your flowers or succulent take center stage and the vessel becomes functional. The reflections in glass are magical - impressions otherwise missed in daily life are captured in the mirror images. It's dangerous. How can something so smooth and clean also cut and shatter? It can withstand intense heat from flames, and then smash into pieces if tapped too hard. It's an amazing medium."
