The workshop

Made slowly, finished by hand.

2CAST is built around small batches, tactile finishing and the kind of detail that only appears when a piece is handled up close. Every bead is cast, cleaned, darkened, polished, checked and packed in short runs.

The process

Three stages, one pair of hands.

01 — Cast

Cast

Small-batch forms are poured in bronze, brass and nickel silver, with enough variation to keep each bead alive.

02 — Patina

Patina

Dark recesses are developed by hand so relief, faces and grooves read sharply against the polished metal.

03 — Finish

Finish

Edges and high points are chased and polished, then each bead is strung on a free paracord and packed.
