What our students say.....
" well organized, learned a lot. highly recommended"
"Best workshop yet! I Learned more in three days than in several other classes"
Students will
learn the fundamentals of moving metal using small tools and hammers to create
high relief in almost any type of metal.The techniques of Chasing and
Repousse utilize the plasticity quality of metal, allowing high relief to be achieved.
The Material fee
is high because students will leave the class with their own 8” diameter pitch
bowl (deep bowl, not thin) filled with Red German pitch and a Repousse
hammer.We find that most students buy
these items anyway after the class because without them, you can’t go home and
practice what you have learned!You will
be purchasing these items with your materials fee BELOW RETAIL.An 8”pitch bowl kit will run
$112-$130 alone.Repousse hammers
can range from $10-$50 depending on the quality.The hammers included in the fee are a good quality,
economy hammer.This hammer will last
for years if you choose not to upgrade to a German hammer later.
If you have your
own hammer or pitch bowl, please contact us for a reduced material fee.
About our Chasing and Repousse Workshop ……
-A
wealth of information, skills and an instructional package.
-Basic
tools will be provided and full sets will be available for sale.
-The
beginning Repousse class will not involve any tool making. A Repousse
artist needs to know how to make tools. However, they need to know how to
use them first. The relationship between the working end of the tool and
the metal is critical for success.
-Students
should be able to complete two small copper Repousse pieces during the
workshop.
