In summer 2018 I received a series of emails from two very determined students \u2013 Sana Pathan from Paris and Julius Hanl from Vienna. Sana, 20, who had just finished studying chasing and repouss\u00e9 for 5 years at\u00a0<\/span>\u00c9<\/span>cole <\/span> Boulle \u2013 the only design school in France officially teaching the technique \u2013 was already significantly accomplished at the skill and was also keen to come on a three month internship at my workshop. She had previously undertaken internships at Goossens, Paris, a couture jewellery house owned by Chanel and specialising in handcrafted jewellery and objects; Alberto Quiros, a professional chaser in a metalsmiths\u2019 workshop in Granada, Spain; and, via\u00a0\u00c9<\/span>cole Boulle which has a long standing partnership with them, Vacheron Constantin, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Julius, 17, from a Higher Technical School in Steyr, Upper Austria, had been focusing on hand engraving as his metalwork subject and had already gained impressive control over the techniques used in gun engraving \u2013 namely fine scrollwork and inlay of precious metals into steel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both students hoped to expand their existing knowledge of chasing and engraving as well as pick up some new silversmithing skills whilst working in my workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n
