About MadeByRasa
MadeByRasa was born of a concept where tradition meets technology. Rasa investigates the possibilities of producing elaborate creations with nature, insect, and skull motifs; via sculpting, scanning, molding and printing. His primary interest is working with copper, where he uses electrotyping processes to turn these ideas into stunning pieces, including silver and gold. He finds constant inspiration in the chemistry and physics involved in the electrotyping process and the art of crafting distinctive patinas. He also explores the fields of lost wax casting, utilizing the knowledge passed on by creatives for thousands of years.
