Trades, in general, require art and mastery for their execution. On this occasion, we will talk about one that, particularly, can be placed among the plastic arts. We present to you our collection of goldsmithing books in PDF format, so you can learn the techniques and the origin of such an interesting craft.
Goldsmiths have existed since ancient times. In 4600 B.C. men and women were already using metals to build useful pieces. Thousands of objects made of different metals have been found in archaeological sites. If you want to be part of this tradition, you cannot miss our goldsmithing books in PDF format.
Goldsmithing can be defined as the craft that deals with building or carving pieces of gold and silver. Thanks to this art a great variety of objects can be made, among them: jewelry, utensils, sculptures and other artistic pieces.
Among the manufacturing techniques applied by the goldsmith are: casting of the raw material, hammering, beating, cutting, finishing, plating and gilding. As for decorative techniques, we can mention: stamping, filigree, stippling, veining and embossing, among others.
Nowadays, the goldsmith’s craft can no longer be considered popular, since mass production, based on other technologies, has taken over. However, it is a craft that is not disappearing due to the unique value that the pieces bring to those who commission them. It is common in the highest social circles to pay for original and unique pieces of goldsmithing.
In that sense, goldsmithing has become a rather exclusive trade and objects tend to have more monetary value than others. Handmade objects will always be valued for their authenticity.
