Raising and Sinking Copper Vessels

In this class, you will learn the fundamental skills required for sinking and raising copper vessels. In the first session, you will sink a small bowl, including finishing it with a foot and a tempered edge. In the second session, you will begin a second piece, focusing on introductory raising techniques to form a taller vessel and then stretching it vertically. The third & fourth sessions will concentrate on transforming your second vessel into a finished bell, complete with an inner drum, or a spinning pencil cup, with a stand and a stackable element.
