Making Metal Forms: Techniques in Hollowware

Description

Direct hammer forming is the most versatile approach to creating three dimensional objects in metal. The truly special quality of metal is its remarkable plasticity, meaning it can take virtually any shape and remain strong. The metal artist with skill and knowledge can turn a flat sheet of metal into a teapot or goblet or a beautiful bracelet. In this four-day intensive workshop we will explore some of the many techniques for working with the plasticity of metal to create three-dimensional forms. Techniques will include sinking, various forms of raising, hammer forging, bouging and plannishing, upsetting and other edge treatments. No formal metalworking experience is required, but some stamina and facility with a hammer is helpful.
