2 Day Chasing and Repoussé Workshop
10am - 5pm each day
Materials provided: Copper sheet 10x8cm and a copper dish 9.5x1.5cm alternatively another copper square sheet.
In this two-day workshop you will learn a more in depth understanding of chasing and repoussé. In the first day you will learn the basics of chasing, transferring your design on copper sheet, using pitch to mount your work, how to use different punches to create various lines and textures as well as making the design three-dimensional with repoussé. You can have a good play around with the different punches and experiment!
In the second day you can refine your design from day one or move onto a shallow dish if you wish, or a new design on another square of copper sheet. You don’t need to have a finished piece of work, you can just have fun and see where it takes you.
- Materials Included – Copper. If you’ve had some experience with metal and would like to use silver then please let me know at least 5 days before the class if you’d like me to order in time for the class, or you can bring along your own silver to work on. The price of the silver will be required to be paid by the date of the class.
- Please bring some line drawings/ideas with you as well as a notebook/pencil. It doesn’t have to be anything complicated; a simple design can work nicely and you can always build upon the design. Please design within the dimensions of the materials provided. You are welcome to email me your design beforehand to see if it is achievable within the timeframe.
- Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided, but please bring your own lunch as the workshop is quite remote so no cafes on the doorstep unfortunately! We have a kettle, hob, oven, microwave and fridge in the kitchen of the workshop.
