Have fun learning how to hammer metal into creative forms through the ancient techniques of Chasing and Repoussé. You will ornament and shape metal by  hammering and pushing (Repoussé) a sheet of metal in one direction, then sinking (Chasing) the metal on the opposite side; stretching the metal to make a new creative form. Chasing it one of the few economical techniques that offers such diversity of expression. The instructor will work with each student from the design process to the creation of a finished piece (which can range from a cuff bracelet, ring, pendant, ornament, etc.).
