From Goldsmiths’ Center:

Join artist, jeweller and teacher, Linda Lewin, in an online talk exploring the extraordinary technique of granulation, which has fascinated makers and wearers for thousands of years. Steeped in history and lore, it is the oldest decorative metalwork technique known to mankind and it is still being used by contemporary makers today.

You will learn about the technical process of granulation where tiny spheres of precious metal appear to be held by magic to the metal’s surface without using solid attachments or even solder and hear about Linda’s experience teaching the technique and incorporating it into her work. Discover how the ancient Greeks and Etruscans were producing technically brilliant work expertly using granulation and how the revival of the technique was inspired by archaeological discoveries in the 19th century. Find out about modern and contemporary makers who sought to recreate this technique and successfully incorporate it into their work to create bold and trailblazing designs.
