Silver Candlestick

Date: 2007/2008

Materials: Silver and Patine

The silver candlestick was my third piece on the silversmith workshop after the ashtray and the countless vases I did. I have no picture of the final piece, which is a shame because it turned out great.

Silver Ashtray

First part, making the ashtray.

Second part, drawing the design to be chased into the ashtray.

Third part, transferring the design to a brass plate. I did some experiments before chasing the final piece.

Fourth part, transferring the design to the silver ashtray and chasing.

Date: 2006/2007

Materials: Silver and Patine.

This silver ashtray was the first work in the second year, in the silversmith workshop. Naturally I made several versions in brass before making the final piece in silver. The ornament was taken from an ornamentation book adapted into a circular shape to be inserted into the ashtray.  
I am really sorry for not having a final picture of the piece, as it turned out pretty spectacular.

Small Silver Vase

Date: 2005

Materials:  Silver and blackwood.

This was my third piece in silversmith, a small silver vase with a Blackwood gauge.

Night Butterfly Box

Date: 2005

Materials: Silver and burgundy velvet.

This was my second work in silversmith, a jewellery box in silver with a chased Night Butterfly on top. It was very challenging and difficult to do this box as it was only my second piece. 

The design was taken from an ornamentation book.

Hand Washer

Date: 2005

Materials:  Silver

My very first work in silversmith, a hand washer. It was made in the first year with a spinning silver metal sheet on a lathe. I made quite a lot of similar pieces in brass in order to practise the technique.
