Description

400;">Vanessa and Will learned the process of creating mokume gane together at Earlham College. Part of their training was making mokume billets and then forming them into vessels and different shapes. The spheres are a reference back to this share metal-forming process and a reminder of how far Will and Vanessa have come as metalsmiths. Each sphere is made from 2 separate pieces of mokume that are dapped and then soldered together to create these beautiful orbs.
