Join us as we welcome the Amazing David Huang back to the Studio--his first visit with us in 6 years!Using pre-made spun copper vessels this workshop will explore how to embellish the form with designs and textures created using the technique known as chasing, including an approach variation I've been calling “hammer chasing”. In place of traditional pitch we will be using a microcrystalline wax, one commonly used in bronze casting. During the course of the workshop we will also cover the basics of making one's own chasing tools, and participants will have the opportunity to make some if they wish to. We will also cover how to finish a vessel edge by soldering on a wire rim.
This workshop will be technique and information oriented rather than project oriented, meaning very few participants actually finish a piece during the time we have. However, everyone should get lots of information about the processes. Considerable time will be spent practicing the techniques while working on our pieces, but due to the labor intensive nature of chasing you shouldn’t expect to complete a piece in class.
In this class there will be one spun copper vessel provided as part of the class cost. If more are available they can be purchased for $35 each.
This workshop is open to all skill levels.
