Chasing and Repousse
Workshop | Available
Dive into the ancient metal art of repousse. Have you ever wanted to create high relief forms in metal? Learn how to use a chasing hammer and chasing tools in pitch to create a three dimensional work of art. Complete a copper cuff with a bee or butterfly, plus an additional project if time allows.
