Master Workshop


This three day workshop open to all levels will focus on different ways to use the hydraulic press to create volume and three dimensional form. Students will learn how to use blanking dies to cut metal, silhouette dies for forming and carved dies to create detailed three dimensional forms. Carved dies can be used on their own or they can be used to start a repousse piece. Students will start by carving a die in cast acrylic. The die creates a relief form in the metal that has detailed contours. The design can be enhanced with chasing and repousse or students can make a silhouette die that will support the piece when it is cut out with a blanking die.
