Adventures on the Silversmiths Bench...

Heres the first in an occasional series of photo articles on our working processes. In these few photos we are casting an element of our Heart is Found bracelet. We are using an ancient sand casting technique which goes back thousands of years. Its a process which is labour intensive but a great way to produce small limited edition runs. From a creative viewpoint its very satisfying taking a pile of scrap off cuts and recycling them into a finished piece. Please click on the images for a further description of the step.
