10 Artists Who Use Electroforming

10 Artists who use Elecrtoforming and Enameling in their work

1. Melissa Huff:  Mostly concentrated on botanical forms.  Natural and organic shapes
                   She uses champleve enameling, firing enamels into recesses of the metal.








2. Dennis Nehabetian-  Uses screening to make forms, then electroforms that.

4. Ed Slawson-  Works with Blown glass and electroformed copper

These are a few pieces from a current series of my work. They feature electroformed copper and fine silver on sculptural flameworked borosilicate forms .

5. Kate Fowle Meleney-  In her biotech series,  she makes glass forms inspired by nature (Bio) and encloses them in electroformed metal- (tech) 

This adds contrast to the glass surface and textural interest. 

Each bead is strung on stainless steel cable to be worn as a piece of sculpture.

9. John Von Aswegen

Born in South Africa, currently teaches at Rhode Island school of design.  Incorporates natural elements instead of trying to recreate look-a-likes

The playful brooch (above), which is shaped like a sea creature, is made of enamel, copper, oxidized silver, and pearl - and, of course, beach sand.

embellished with 18kt white gold, a large topaz in the middle and small aquamarine stones.
