About the Technique For this collection, Tita worked with two artisans, a goldsmith, and a welder. The skilled artisan uses an artisanal method that has been passed down for generations: martillado. This technique requires the artisan to use hammers of different shapes, sizes, and weights, depending on the alloy, the object's size, or the work phase. In addition, stone chisels are used to outline and adorn the object's final shape.
