Married Metals and Mokume Gane
by
Stephen Walker
Mokume-gane and married metals, techniques
that combine metals in ways that use their colors graphically, are among
Stephen Walker's specialties. Shown at the left are examples of
hollowware and jewelry done using wood grain metal that is made of
layers of brass, copper, silver and bronze combined with silver and
colored gold.
During the 2003 Allegany
Artisans Studio Tour we had our first ever public
demonstration of this exciting process.
