Georgia Goldsmiths Group

August 20-22, 2010

Workshop limited to guild members only. To join GGG, please visit their website.

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 at least 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. 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.
