What Others Are Saying...
I received your new DVD on Eastern Repousse and Chasing, and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I feel that students wanting to learn a very challenging and rewarding style of metalwork will benefit extremely well through the use of your method. The straight-forward approach in your teaching will provide the student a fun, yet challenging start to finish sequence of fabricating a beautiful and valuable piece of metalwork. The vast amount of information contained in this DVD, and what a person can do if they apply their creativity is a very small price to pay.
I want to Thank You also for producing a visual technique of another rare ancient process that often times in the past was not shared with others.
Thank You Victoria, for your commitment to the metalsmithing arts!
Sincerely,
Chris Hullinger
Your method makes pitch fun instead of a fright.
- Barb Taroni, California
The quality of your production is really top class, you should be rightly proud of such a fantastic project; That is just the production, which is, in my opinion head and shoulders above any other informative craft DVD I have ever seen.
The
art of free hand hammering to achieve detailed sculptural
relief is known as Eastern Repousse and chasing dates
back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians,
Greeks, and Scythians.
At
last the first DVD on the subject is now available!
