She resumed her passion for jewellery in Hong Kong, the city where she has been living for 5 years and where she has launched her new brand, Creating Things by Andrea. All her pieces are designed and handmade by herself from her workshop. The design process begins with the conceptualization of the initial ideas. This is the part she enjoys the most because it allows her to convey what for her is the true value of a piece, "that is unique and different". The pieces she exhibits with Ame Gallery represent her fascination for geometric figures, symmetries with an industrial touch. She is attracted to clean, straight surfaces that allow the nobility of the material to stand out. And imbued with an emotional charge resulting from the cultural influences she has absorbed throughout her life. Shop Andrea Rojas Córdoba

1. How long have you been working on the work bench you currently using? Does it have a story / history? I just moved to this bench a month ago. I now work from home. 2. Which is your favourite tool, and why? The drill, it is very versatile, and fast. 3. What is the jewellery making technique / process you enjoy the most, and why? 3D-printing, with this technique I can really create what my mind "sees". It comes in two parts, the modeling part, which I do on the computer, it is my version of a sketchbook, where I experiment with the shape and form and figure out the engineering side of my work. The second part comes after the pieces are printed, I still have a lot to do, I need to prepare and cleanup the parts, assemble everything and finally add the finishing touches. 4. Anything else you want to tell us about your jewellery bench? My bench can go up and down, that way I always have the perfect position to work as computer work and bench work requires very different heights.

1/How long have you been working on the work bench you currently using? I have been working on my recent work bench for 2 years for now, this is where I started my path on jewellery making. A working bench for jewellers is very personal, I have set up everything that suits my need bit by bit and this is still an on-going process, there is always room to refine and this has made my bench one of my most comfortable place to stay. 2/Which is your favourite tool, and why? There are two favourite tools of mine, one is the saw and the other is the wax pen. The saw is the first tool I acquired when I started making jewellery and a good saw is the key element whether I can realise my design into a piece of jewellery, it has to be very accurate and handy. Since wax is a very important process of my work, so the wax pen is also one of my favourite tools, my wax pen allows me to smoothly craft detail design and texture that metal cannot achieve. 3/ What is the jewellery making technique/process you enjoy the most, and why? The cleaning up process is the most enjoyable process for me. To see my design and work come into real is thrilling; before I started making jewellery, I always thought silver and other precious metal looks just shiny and smooth as we saw in the shop window, but now I have came to know, in order to make the shinny and sleekly surface, jeweller has a long way to go from raw silver, hours of effort was spent. Polishing, brushing, filing and cleaning, you will find your pieces looks completely different with a clean and sleek surface, and this gives me big satisfaction. The polishing and cleaning process is the last and the most important step to define the value of your work.

1. How long have you been working on the workbench you currently using? Does it have a story/history? In the years that I have been working on my bench the process of acquiring, modifying and creating my own tools has inspired me and continues to inspire me. For me tools are like the extension of your hands and body when you are in the process of making any object. It is essential that they adapt to my needs and the technical requirements of the pieces. 2. Which is your favourite tool, and why? It's a very difficult question because I like all of them, but I think the jewellery saw and the pliers are the tools I work with the most and that I master quite well. They allow you to explore an infinite number of shapes and achieve very precise work. 3. What is the jewellery making technique/process you enjoy the most, and why? Cutting, fretwork and bending are the techniques I currently use the most. My designs are very geometric so, precision in cutting and folding are very important in the creation of a piece. 4. Anything else you want to tell us about your jewellery bench? It is my workspace and where I spend most of my time. I have a desk for the creative process and the bench for fabrication. Evenings are the time of day where I am most inspired and creative. But daylight allows me to be more precise and detailed.
