Yumi Roth
DATES: August 3 – 7, 2015
SKILL LEVEL: Open to all, a basic knowledge of metalsmithing is helpful.
CONCEPT: Uncover the malleability of non-ferrous metals and forge new works borne of your imagination. In this workshop, we reimagine everyday forms and objects. Students learn how to use a variety of hammers, stakes, stumps, and shot bags to produce forms through the process of sinking, shaping, and raising soft metals. Students also learn how to use the hydraulic press to complement working with hammers and stakes. Soldering, filing, and sawing are reviewed during the first day of class. Students should bring an assortment of inspired objects to explore during the workshop.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students participate in forming, sinking, raising, shaping, and basic metalsmithing techniques with copper, brass, and silver.
ACTIVITIES: We learn through demonstrations, slide presentations, studio time, and individual student assistance with projects
