| Learn the high relief hammered techniques of chasing and repoussé, used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Celts, and which is little known in the West. Participants will create 2-3 pieces suitable for pins or pendants while learning the secrets of achieving exquisite detail and unsurpassed depth.
No tool making required! Victoria will provide sets of tools for use during the workshop that were Swiss machine replicated from her own. She will also provide information on tools making for students interested in making their own tools and stamps, but the majority of class time will be devoted to doing repoussé.
Upon completion, everyone will have an understanding of the process, which they will be able to translate to more of their own ideas and designs.
Victoria’s work in this technique has been featured in many books and magazines, including Metalsmith, Jewelry Artist, and Nancy Megan Corwin’s Chasing & Repoussé, and as the newest instructional DVD in her internationally acclaimed series, Metal Techniques of Bronze Age Masters.
The class is taught as a 2-day, 2-1/2 day, or 3-day workshop. To book a workshop please email Victoria or call 404-388-8348. | Spirale Sancta Eastern repoussé cuff bracelet |
