Where Ideas Take Shape
Each design starts as a model, carved in wax, sculpted from hot metal, or built in 3D. That original is polished and made ready for moulding.
How I bring each piece to life
process 01
Each design starts as a model, carved in wax, sculpted from hot metal, or built in 3D. That original is polished and made ready for moulding.
process 02
A good design often arrives by chance, so I make a rubber mould of each original. That way the moment can be made again.
process 03
Every piece begins as a wax pulled from its mould. I check each one for bubbles and seams, and make sizing or design tweaks here.
process 04
The waxes go to a local casting house. Set in plaster, the wax is burned out and molten metal poured in its place. The piece takes form as it cools.
process 05
Back at the bench I cut, grind, sand and polish each casting. Posts are soldered, chains assembled link by link, every detail finished by hand.
