Hammer & Hand is a metal & jewellery collective based in Hobart, Tasmania and Bangalow, New South Wales.

The idea was to embed a little Tassie Tiger in a bronze medallion.. It was too thin I think and it partially melted when the Bronze hit it ! (rough cast picture)..Half the sand impression survived intact (Cope or Drag ?) So .. repacked the top box (Cope or Drag?).. recut the sprue and poured a little plain Bronze one …actually the impression survived a second time and I poured two !
