In his workshop, all motifs and ornaments are produced or restored according to ancient tradition. From an early age, Fässler was often in his father's workshop—learning everything it takes to develop a passion for the traditional craft of metal stamping. In his work as a restorer at the Historical Museum in Basel, Fässler refined his sense for the restoration of old objects.
