CuForming is a project of passion born from our love for both science and crafting.
Since 2018, we've been exploring the fascinating world of electroforming, where we merge the wonders of electrochemistry with geology, botany, zoology and the artistry of crafting.
Copper, with its versatility and beauty, is our favorite material to work with, and our designs are inspired by the intricate textures found in nature.
Through experimentation with chemicals, various materials, and the electroforming process, we create unique pieces that celebrate the intersection of science and art.
With inherited skills in electrical engineering, painting, sculpting and materials assembly, and the curiosity about new technologies such as 3D printing, CuForming is where science meets creativity.

I tried #5, ammonia fumes with soy sauce and salt. I got the same stunning results!

Great video - your voice and the music made me feel I was in a video game.

Thanks for your experiments!
I personally love the soya sauce impact. Definitely have to try it:)
I normally use vinegar or ammonia, but I put salt in the solution in the very beginning and spray the same solution on the pieces. Sometimes I heat up the jar to speed up the process.
They give predictably green and turquoise respectively, but after spraying lack on the pieces, the color becomes almost the same:(

I'd love to see even more experiments, this is very interesting

[albertocastro]

Muchas gracias!! Ha sido una experiencia muy formativa. Me gustaría que hicieras un video sobre opciones de laca para preservar las pátinas. He escuchado acerca de lacas catafóricas usadas en joyería. Sigue adelante jugando y aprendiendo.

Try Worchestershire sauce and vinegar with salt

[antheaxe]

apperently onion and amonia is a thing in combination the muster to and maybe ammoniumkarbamat could work

[vjjJuxxy]

Will these methods work for wire jewelry? i cant quite tell if your copper wire is taking the effect. Much appreciation for the video 🎉

[antheaxe]

dry soy sauce in powder make it in to a paste with vinger or ammonia or both maybe give a diffret effekt or just sprinkel it on. Ketchup has viniger in it might get so different colors becuse of the tomato. Coka cola might be fun one try to or it or it will be shiny. colord salt with food dye then hang it over amonia or viniger might be cool and diffretnt

I wonder what would happen if you use used coffee grounds instead
