That metal WILL do your bidding! Learn the basic methods of manipulating copper and other non-ferrous metals. We will be hammering, coaxing, bending, torching and more hammering. This is an ongoing class where beginners start by learning raising, sinking, planishing and progress through increasingly technical skills usually led by artistic whim. Demonstrations will rotate through the class and new skills will be added each month: Urban Metal provides the tools and the know how. You bring your ideas and a willing spirit. Purchase materials in class or bring your own.
in this four week class beginners will be taught how to sink, raise and planish a round vessel. In addition to raising, intermediate and advanced students will explore more forming possibilities. We will be working with two 6” discs of 18ga copper sheet. Bring your own or purchase in class.
