Why Foldforming?
Foldforming is a revolutionary approach that utilizes the natural properties of metal to achieve breathtaking high-relief forms efficiently and effectively. This method emphasizes the plasticity and elasticity of metal, allowing for rapid transformations that traditional techniques cannot achieve. The workshop will cover various forms of fold forming, ensuring that participants can produce complex designs that are both aesthetic and functional.
Tools and Techniques:
Participants will use basic tools such as hammers, mallets, anvils, and rolling mills to manipulate single sheets of copper into dynamic shapes, often with minimal annealing. This approach not only preserves the integrity of the metal but also introduces artists to a ‘printmaking’ technique in metalworking.
Ideal For:
Jewelry makers, sculptors, and anyone interested in hollowware or enameling will find this technique particularly valuable. Whether you’re looking to enhance your artistic repertoire or embark on a new creative journey, this workshop is perfect for exploring new dimensions in metal artistry.
Join us for this rare opportunity to learn from a pioneer in the field and transform your approach to metalwork. Spaces are limited – secure your spot today and be part of this innovative journey into the essence of metal artistry. |
