Electroforming is a slow, intricate process where copper particles are deposited onto another object using a low voltage electrical charge. The intended piece is painted with a conductive medium and suspended in an electrolytic solution for between 12 - 24 hours allowing the copper ions to coat a thick layer onto the original piece. It is then removed from the solution, polished, can have a patina applied and then sealed.

The results are beautiful, organic and unique to each piece. No two pieces will ever be identical even if created under the exact same conditions at the same time.
