Two techniques, different but complimentary

Filigree

The beautiful twisted wires, the elaborate scrolls, the light, airy and delicate transparency that were lovingly hand formed. This is an art that requires devotion to a nearly lost era of craft that takes time and patience to learn.

Chasing and Repousse

The hypnotic tap of the hammer on steel, forming and shaping metal into pieces full of depth and detail. Each tool shaped for a specific outcome, formed in a pitch bowl and worked on both sides until the maker is satisfied with its outcome.
