    wires.co.uk should be able to supply the wire, and I have bought some from Jewellery supply places in the US before.

    As for sheet, I find electrical engineering places stock it, ages since I bought any though. Maybe have a google, or see if anyone else has a good source.

    Boo might have the answer, she uses a lot of copper I think.

    This is where I've bought sheet in the past.

    eBay.co.uk Shop: Search results for Ringwood Precision Engineering.

    Can't really help with heavier gauges or sheet, as much of the copper I'm using at the moment was obtained,found etc.

    For finer gauges of wire, many general jewellery supply places sell it and they're all much the same price - around £1.75 a reel - quantity depends on gauge - 0.6mm = 10m, 1mm = 4m etc:

    The Bead Shop - International Mail Order Beads, Nottingham. Index Page.

    Grove Beads UK, Swarovski Crystal Beads , Swarovski beads wholesale, Crystal Pearls, Gemstones, Jewellery making supplies.

    Many places do copper coloured craft wire, which is no good if you want to solder, melt, hammer etc.

    I'll dig some more through my bookmarks.

    I did try and post another link, but was told that a mod had to approve it first, so I don't know if that was because it was an eBay shop - it's a seller called Endless Green.
