Masterful, meticulous, deliberate—these three words describe Thompson metalsmiths. Each maker is a master craftsman with a unique set of skills passed down from the artisans of Santa Clara del Cobre, a historic coppersmithing region in the mountains of Mexico. Each vessel, vanity, range hood, tub, or custom project is handcrafted, creating a unique product that celebrates the area’s legacy, expertise, and artistry.

Today, our global team of metalsmiths dedicate hours, days, and sometimes weeks to create one-of-a-kind vessels and finishes. Certain finishes, like antique satin gold are only obtainable by specific craftsmen. The craftsmanship behind each Thompson product ultimately rests in the hands of its maker.

Each a virtuoso and student of their Santa Clara del Cobra ancestors, they have honed their skills since the 16th century when the native P’urhépecha were considered the world’s most advanced metallurgists of pre-Hispanic times.

As a result, the human touch is evident in every hand-crafted detail, with each product representing the skillful hands of its maker. No two pieces are alike in outward appearance; however, each piece is unified through its craftsmanship—the intrinsic value unique to Thompson.

“Somewhere between design and polish, Thompson’ sinks, tubs, vanities, range hoods and accessories come to life with a fusion of timeless elegance grounded in classic, handmade mastery.“

Alejandra Ochoa de Thompson
