About

I design and create jewelry and small metal art objects in gold, silver and bronze.  I combine traditional lost wax casting, digital modeling, and precision 3D printing with traditional metal working and jewelry fabrication techniques and my own style to create unique art and jewelry.

I am particularly interested in using lost wax casting to create jewelry and small architectural castings.

With lost wax casting, the artist creates a model in wax (or another organic material). A ceramic mold is then formed around the model. The wax is burned out of the mold in a kiln and then molten metal is poured into the mold. The metal is cooled and the mold material is removed, leaving a metal copy of the original model.

This technique allows the creation of extremely detailed metal castings of the original model and has been used for jewelry and sculpture creation for centuries.
