TECHNIQUES FOR JEWELLERS

Goss Design Studio is putting specialized workshop techniques on this web site to share with other professional studio jewellers. This page is the table of contents. If you have comments or variations on the techniques, please write to us.

Gold Leafing: or mechanical surface gilding

Rolling Mill Printing: and more uses for the rolling mill

Etching: of bronze, brass and copper with ferric chloride     Photocopies: as a resist for etching

Multi-Metal Lamination: layering different coloured metals

Concrete and Cement: an unlikely jewellery material. (This link takes you into another of our web sites.)

[These advanced techniques assume that you have basic jewellery and metalworking skills. We offer these technical papers, originally presented as workshops, in a spirit of sharing information. We assume no liability for safety and health issues -- those are your responsibility. Please read Artist Beware by Michael McCann or The Artist's Complete Health & Safety Guide by Monona Rossol.]
