GOLDSMITHING

There is nothing more fascinating and exciting than looking at the hands of a goldsmith devoted to his work. The ability with which he uses small tools on small objects, impressing slight movements that have the power to sculpt the metal and bend it to the desired shapes. It is like a magic ritual, and this is what you can enjoy at the laboratory Vichi.

Chisel

The chisels are small with a pointed or rounded heads, and we use them with an object fixed to a support with a layer of soft pitch, enabling its processing from the back. this technique also provides the use of the design which is shown on the front of the object, highlighting the contours. The artist performs the work in negative, by modeling large or small concavity in the metal that will appear placed in relief.
