When the worlds of metallurgy and jewelry-making collide, the enchanting art of electroforming emerges. this testament to the power of alchemy allows for the eternal preservation of objects in a luxurious copper embrace. in this case, a real mushroom! this process begins with painting our piece in graphite, a conductor that beckons the copper’s growth to specific areas. then, the artifact takes a plunge, joined by a piece of copper, into a mystical bath of metallic acid. charging the solution with electricity, the acids dissolve the copper, drawing it to the graphite in a waltz of atoms. With each passing moment, layers of copper descend upon the piece, transforming it with new forms and textures. it is science, that feels like magic!
