The practice of memento mori– acting on the Latin phrase that translates to “remember we must die,” has the profound potential to wake us up and breathe more life into our lives.
It’s a reminder that each day is a gift and to live life to the fullest for in the end time is fleeting.
Use with hammer, press or clay
Steel impression die can be used in a variety of methods depending on the tools you have and the technique you want to use. All steel impressions can be used in a hydraulic press, with all types of clay from metal clay to polymer, potters also use the impression to add texture and imagery to their work. Hammer and foil method can be used and requires only a hammer and pusher (plus torch to anneal your metal), if you are new to this technique feel free to message me with any questions. Lampworkers can also use these die in their work. Whether it’s pendants, ring faces, panels, earrings, charms etc our wildly varied collection should have something to inspire you.
