Copper Wildflower Workshop - One Day

This introductory workshop focuses on creating natural plant forms using a variety of copper forming and joinery techniques: fold forming, forging, fullering, veining, drilling, riveting and soft soldering.

Everyone will be led through a series of exercises to create petals, stems and leaves. We’ll examine a variety of plant forms, and growth patterns and look at the transitions between each of the parts. All of the individual pieces will then be assembled into flowers that have a convincingly natural appearance.

Participants will also learn how a two-dimensional pattern in a flat, rigid sheet copper can be stretched, pulled and gathered up to transform into three dimensional organic forms.

This is a one day course. Class runs from 9am - 5pm, Saturday June 1st, 2024.

No previous metalworking experience necessary.
COST: $375.00 per person (+ HST + eventbrite registration fee)
