Dai Ban

Dai Ban is a jeweller,a sculpture artist and he does comission jobs. he does say that he loved the motifs used,leaves, flowers, vines mixed with geometric shapes and patterns that really work together and create endless designs.

hes trying to incorporate these beautiful images into his jewellery after much experimentation and practice hes found ways to create flowy movements of his had,wax tools. he makes jewellery from casting wax without any moulds.

below is an email i sent to dai dan to find ways of solving problems im facing with finding ways of casting mehndi patterns.
"hi there,im currently doing my Btech in jewellery design and manufacture and my jewellery is based on mehndi patterns.Im using you and your work as one of my refernces and inspiration. please could you share with me your materials used,the working process,prblems and challenges faces whilst trying to fing the right tools to do what you exactly wanted"
