Workshop - Grinding crystal by hand

This image gives emotion. A precise moment of a life of passion respecting the tradition. The time of grinding. The frame freezes the moment in which each movement creates a wonderful sign, carved, ground and engraved with great skill. This tray will be a single piece with a stretch somatic defined. Indelible over time and indelible. The crystal will be grinding with this unique and unrepeatable. Like a painting the wonderful transparent material is real art where the skill lies in the value it best with realistic representations, geometric or abstract soft and intense. An interpolation of coordinated movements and precise where the hands move on command unconscious of 'soul which in turn is driven by the accuracy of the eyes. All this, however, could not function if the heart does not give and should provoke emotion. Line after line, leaf after leaf, crossing after crossing the drawing materializes under the eyes. Very often incredulous also the same craftsman. Passion, tradition, emotion. In these three words it contains a history of work where teachers scholars have devoted their soul to improve and improve with wonderful products. Very often not in the catalog. Just going back to the roots because they are unique and unrepeatable.

What does it mean to grind or engrave?

The first operation that the craftsman does is to think about how to make the decoration. With the piece in hand, after taking a deep breath, it begins to affect the still intact and smooth crystal.
Water is a great ally to cool the grinding wheel which flows over the design that is in the mind and heart. of the craftsman Luciano Bandinelli. With care and extreme attention, applying pressure to the piece, he begins to remove the crystal and then suddenly goes deep with a clean and wonderfully precise cut. Repeating these operations for dozens of times leads to extraordinary results in terms of beauty, uniqueness and brilliance. Passion, tradition, emotion. This is the true essence of the Bandinelli family that for over half a century has dedicated its mastery, passing it down from generation to generation. An absolute added value that enhances every crystal artefact of our production.
