The technique:
Electroforming deposits a layer of metal on all types of elements, creating a full or partial coating.
This offers us the possibility of creating three-dimensional, hollow, and lightweight shapes, which we cannot achieve with other techniques such as lost-wax casting.
In this course, we'll learn how to use and configure a basic kit for electroforming jewelry pieces.

It will be divided into three sessions:
- We will use the first day to select and prepare the parts with the corresponding sealants and paints.
- On the second day, we'll place the parts in the vats to begin the electroforming process. We'll give a theoretical introduction to the technique, show a PowerPoint presentation, and show examples of finished parts. We'll explain the entire process, as well as the construction of the vat and all its components. In the afternoon, we may be able to see some finished parts, depending on the size and timing.
- The third day will consist of removing the pieces from the vats, reviewing what worked best and what didn't, and finishing the pieces to create the jewelry. We will also explain the possibility of electroengraving by changing the position of the anode and cathode.

You can bring anything you want to turn into metal (organic objects, leaves, branches, shells or plastics, or any non-ferrous material) everything is possible…
