Crafting copper sink

We are working together with a plumber to design and create a copper sink. We are looking for how-to on brazing copper to create the look we want. Are you able to help us?

Hi, Nanette. You had misspelled 'brazing', and maybe that was holding you back. Google 'braze copper' and you will immediately see good info. Get back to us if there are specific questions. Good luck.

I had seen a lot of that info. I guess when I read about pipe brazing I thought maybe there would be a different technique. I guess I just have two more questions. Is there a difference between the brazing of copper pipes and copper sheeting? And, I have read and heard a lot about how soft copper sheeting is. In designing a sink, would the copper need backing, and if so what would work best? How would it work best?
Thank you so much for any help you can give.
