Lakeside Project


Lakeside Project

For this project we had to create a piece which was inspired by the artifacts at Lakeside Arts Center - Nottingham.
For my inspiration I chose these two iron age broaches.
 I made rings in bronze and silver using the lost wax casting process. I wanted the rings to have a rough edge to them, but have the same pattern as the broaches.
Here you can see the spru I used to cast the rings. - looks a lot like a belt buckle here!

Silver Ring:





Im planning on selling them as a set of stack able rings.



 
I need to polish them more in order to get a better shine out of them.
