These servers are part of an ongoing exploration of form, intersections, and forging. They are all forged from ingots of silver that were alloyed in my studio, using a torch, crucible, and ingot mold. I have been alloying .970 silver since my undergrad days, when Gary Noffke shared this result of his sabbatical research with me. This alloy has a higher silver content than sterling silver, and is a real pleasure to forge. I am interested in utility, design, and craftsmanship, and ultimately want the user's experience with these objects to be joyful, exciting, and rewarding.
