Introduction to Hammered Copper Vessels
Adult | Available
In this two-day workshop explore hand raising hollow form vessels.
Starting with a flat sheet of copper learn the use of varying stake anvils and hammers to raise it into a vertical form. Tin lining and metal finishing will also be covered.
Students should expect long days spent hammering. While the hammers are relatively small, raising is a very physical process.
