| Florida Society of Goldsmiths 16th Annual Winter Workshop January 15-20, 2012 Registration information available here. 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 4 pieces or repousse while learning the secrets of achieving exquisite detail and unsurpassed depth. Participants will also be able to create multiple levels of relief, explore repousse with alternative materials, such as mokume gane and bi-metal, and learn about complex repousse works such as cuff bracelets and rings.
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 tool 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, Nancy Megan Corwin’s Chasing & Repoussé, and as the latest DVD in the series, Metal Techniques of Bronze Age Masters. |
