Long ago, I learned the technique of the traditional way of casting silver. My parents made cast silver as I learned watching and helping them. Thereafter, I took on the process of carving tufa stone, casting out of the molds. Later on, I learned to do the sandcasting, which is the same technique as tufa casing, but it can be used to make additions of the same image or sample. After that, the deburring, filing, grinding, bending, and polishing of the piecework is done. Findings and the lapidary work is done aside of the cast pieces, to finish the silverwork.
