In this two day workshop you will learn the basics of anticlastic raising. This process allows you to create exceptionally strong, flexible, lightweight, and organic-looking forms. A flat sheet of metal is shaped by compressing its edges and stretching the center so that the surface develops two curves at right angles to each other. A saddle is a good example of an anticlastic form. We will focus on "open", or "monoshell" forms made from single pieces of thin sheet metal, working to create striking dimensional shapes. Each student will have the opportunity to make a finished piece of jewelry that includes this process.
Though open anticlastic forms date to the middle Bronze Age, it is only recently that they have been explored in detail. This new focus has yielded some of the most interesting forms in contemporary metalworking. You do not need a great deal of metalworking experience to take this class, but some facility with the hammer is helpful. This class is however a prerequisite to taking Introduction to Decked Forms and will greatly expand the range of forms available for you to incorporate into your designs. Some forging experience helpful.

Danaca Design’s Metal Crafting Center is a joyful, non-competitive learning environment created for individuals eager to gain skills in jewelry design and the art of small scale, decorative metal working. The center is a combined workshop, classroom and gallery space providing a creative, well equipped, and relaxed environment in which to learn, grow and meet like minded people. Founded by instructor/designer Dana Cassara, The Metal Crafting Center is a comfortable, well-lit and cheerful space designed to meet the increasing need for jewelry fabrication studios in the Seattle area.
Managed semi-cooperatively by both jewelry designers and work-study students, The Metal Crafting Center offers classes, mentored independent study, open studio hours, and a lovely store front gallery exhibiting both student and professional work. The center welcomes the accomplished artists, as well as the beginning student!
Classes and workshops focus on specific projects and are designed to present a variety of techniques. Some run on consecutive weeknights, some over the course of a weekend and some are just a few hours long. Class size is very limited, generally to eight people creating an intimate setting with intensive teacher student contact, as well as significant group interaction. The atmosphere fosters a sense of community and support among those participating. Private and team building classes are also available and can be designed and scheduled to accommodate any need. Materials are supplied in the cost of the beginning series classes and most of the workshops freeing students from the burden of sourcing materials.
