NC Black Co. Micro Raising and Forming Workshop
Raising is a process for forming sheet metal into vessel form using the metal's natural response to hammering. Students will explore methods for creating miniature vessel forms. These methods can be used to create sculpture and jewelry as well as vessels. Students will focus on samples in copper and will create a raised vessel by the end of the class. We will also explore other Micro Forming techniques, allowing students to create small, voluminous, structurally sound forms to be used on their own or in conjunction with raised pieces. All tools are provided. This class is taught in tandem by Annie Grimes Williams and Julie Brooks of NC Black Co.
Some metalsmithing experience is recommended, but not required.
