今週は学校以外の部分に触れていこうと思います。Pic1-2は私が今住んでいる家からの風景です。部屋は最上階で、見晴らしもよく、バルコニーも暖かくて過ごしやすいです。特にこの写真を撮った日は気候もよく、素敵な秋の日でした。Pic3はアパートのエレベーターです。日本のエレベーターとは違い、扉は半手動で階の移動も単純なので、とても面白い部分の一つです。ここはフィレンツェに来てから2つ目の家で、友人に… [read more]

今週は銀を使って葉っぱを作り始めました。銀の板から葉の形を切り取ります。金属を切るのは最初の授業と比べると徐々に慣れてきましたが、今回は複雑な形をしているので、いつもより慎重に行いました。 SBALZOと呼ばれる工程です。蝋の上に切り出した葉っぱの表を下に乗せ、打ち出し加工を施していきます。どのくらいの凹みが必要なのかわからず、恐る恐る作業をしていたのですが、思い切っ… [read more]
