The goldsmith creates objects from gold, solid silver, or silver-plated metal for tableware, interior decoration, or worship. He works the metal into plates using cold techniques: swaging, planing, repoussé, stamping, or hot techniques such as lost-wax casting.
Initial professional training as a goldsmith is acquired through an apprenticeship with the award of a CFC (French Federal Certificate of Professional Excellence). Duration: 4 years. Further training is possible.
