3 Ways 2 Life

3 ways 2 life is a side-project since 2021, what began as an exploration in the use of unusual materials in the creation of jewelry-like objects developed into a more traditional silver smithing practise.

This project has been a usueful creative outlet as well as a way to continue the development of traditional hand skills.

Below is a selection of just some of the jewellery pieces I have made in the last 3 years. I work principally using investment casting methods (lost wax, delft clay and lost PLA). I using hand carving as well as 3D design packages to create molds. Some pieces feature cast in place stones and/or additional components soldered on using the traditional method.

Each piece meticulously crafted.

3ways2life is a mineral extraction from the mine of recycled thoughts, materials and ideas.

Each piece is a hand crafted 1 off, pulled from the dark depths of my mind and forged in the fire of a broken future.
