Hello there
I'm new to the forums although I am guilty of lurking for a while 😁
I'm mostly self taught and love to hand fabricate pieces from sheet and wire. These pieces are usually botanical and fairly small. A customer has recently asked if she can buy a gold plated item as she mostly wears gold. I have no idea how to go about this so I would love some advice.
Do I have to make batches of items to gold plate or can I send individual pieces? Also can anyone recommend good companies who I can contact.
Second question is it possible to cast from hand fabricated silver pieces or would I have to make the pieces in wax first and then have them modelled? Is it even possible to cast from these pieces? Sorry if this is all obvious! I'm still quite a new maker.
I have included photos of these pieces to give you an idea of what I'm talking about!
