Fold Forming

  

The art of Fold Forming. One of my all time favorite techniques and on of my most popular classes back in Florida. 
      Fold forming is a technique invented by metalsmith Charles Lewton Braine. It is a wonderful technique using sheet metal to create beautifully textured and organic shapes using a process of heating, folding, working, heating and unfolding. A perfect way to release some pent up aggression while creating something beautiful. 
     In this class we will work on basic line folds as well as the chasing on air technique of foldforming to create pieces of jewelry or even a small bowl. 
Look for classes Spring 2024 here at Coyote Valley Art Farm
