In my latest project for Jewellery + Object Design I'm building a ring that involves 5 separate flat layers, and I required the middle layer to stand out from the rest. Because this layer is made of titanium it gave me the option of colouring the surface using an electrical current.Having never tried the technique before I expected it to be complicated and difficult, taking far longer than the short time I had left to complete the piece. This turned out to be false and with the help of a more experienced student from stage two, Andrew Stinear, I was able to experiment with the technique and produce a result I am stoked with in only one day. I have found titanium slow to work with in general but when you can achieve such interesting colours that are also durable it makes the time well worth it.
Another interesting day in the JOD workshop.
