    All he serious stuff in Santa Clara at least is done by HAND . see
    for an example of a workshop: 

    http://www.silversun-sf.com/copper/New_Folder/copper_sb.htm 

    James Metcalf,  an American,  helped the  the local people redevelop
    their old  skills  similar to the work of Spratling in Taxco. 

    search "Santa Clara De Cobre"  for more 

    They recover copper scrap in a wood fired pit  forming an round
    ingot in a  depression in the bottom of the pit that is removed when
    cool. this is then forged into the final shapes. 

    A book you may find at a Borders bookstore "Great Masters of Mexican
    Folk Art" shows some of the great craftsmen in this and other
    fields.
