Few years refining technics and methods, he decided to move on with the prototyping and modeling world, developing patterns for the fashion industry, accessories like buckles, buttons, customized metal shoe parts for better known brands.\nAt the age of 24 he had the opportunity to find a local workshop who had the centrifugal lost wax method. Here his skills were very soon noticeable. So he decided to start to work for an artistic foundry and then he thought: \u201c\u2026 shall I start it in London, perhaps I\u2019ll learn the language\u2026?\u201d LOL!\nAnd he managed to do it so! Many thanks to Fiorini Foundry London, who has made this happen. He\u2019s self-taught foundry man through a book written by the artist Francesco Lucidi.\nMany sabbatical years he\u2019s been through but he had never stopped producing commissions and making fine arts, researching and improving knowledge with different materials like clay, wood, plaster, synthetic materials. He has developed great confidence towards all the non-ferrous metals, but later on he acquired skills on some other metals like mild and stainless steel, cast iron, surfaces treatment, restauration, conservation. \nOver the years many commissions have been made, you\u2019ll find some of this in OTHER; unfortunately some other pieces have never been documented.\nAt present he continues with his artistic career between Lecce (Salento) and London with his \u201cr.lab\u201d concept, hub who gathers all the jewelry, and  #nomad_workshop project that relates all the objects made in third party workshops, partnerships.\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59cd3ef e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"
