He then surprised me by asking if I wanted to see his shop. I've been wanting to see where he works forever. So we got into his car and off we went. His workshop is near Sung-Dae Station on a tiny side street. The picture above is where he carves and makes his molds of his designs.
His wall was filled with his award winning work. I am truly amazed at his talent and his lack of any ego.
This was one of the his latest creations. He first carves the design out of a really hard plastic then makes a rubber mold out of it. I'm surprised that the mold are all rubber since he works in silver. I don't know how that works but he showed me where he melts the silver and pours it into these containers. His English is very poor so I had a hard time understanding.
This is also one of his new designs. It is perfect for chilbo and is pretty big. I love his detail.
These were just too cool!
How fun was this, Becky? Wow, his work is amazing. Maybe he finds silver and melts it down. I love the details. It looks like he stays busy in his workshop.
