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.

Saturday, October 18. Demonstration begins at 11:00 AM 
Forging anticipated between 12:30 and 1:00 PM

Sunday, October 19. Demonstration begins at 2:00 PM
Forging anticipated between 3:30 and 4:00 PM
