mokume gane

masterclass from a little while ago, originated in japan 17th century, rough translation of 'woodgrain metal', laminating metals to create pattern, method of twisting wire and flooding with solder...
 copper, nickel and brass formations in mokume-gane translated into ring shape,
 making a flat sheet of mokume-gane, endless soldering and flattening, experimental bowl piece to show grain in metal,
excitingly beautiful effects in metal, would love to explore further in the future....
