6 spots left
Workshop Description
This class teaches the principles of embossing and texturing (repousse and chasing) in copper, inspired by the textures and forms of nature. Using steel tools and hammers, with your work embedded in pitch, you'll create high-relief three-dimensional forms from flat copper sheet. This class will involve sawing out shapes in metal, filing and smoothing edges, annealing using a torch, as well as the embossing and chasing techniques. You'll learn to push the capabilities of the metal and your imagination with guidance and support. All materials are included in the class price. All classes in our studio require you to wear closed-toed shoes, and it is best to wear clothing that you won't mind getting dirty. Please bring your reading glasses if you need them.
