Guest Artists:
Heather McLarty : “Oh Sheet! - How Metal Moves ”
Heather will present and discuss her philosophy on “Uchidashi”, the Japanese technique of hammering or embossing to create raised designs. Though similar to Western chasing and repousse, it is considered a distinct process with its own nuances. Heather will share examples and her philosophy on the different types of “anvils” and tooling and the use of annealing and work-hardening the surface of the metal in the process of achieving high relief chasing.
Tanya Crane: “Mix it Up With Enamel Overglaze!”
Tanya Crane is a nationally recognized jeweler & enamelist, and is an Associate Professor of Art at Long Beach City College. Tanya will demonstrate how you can use Ferro Sunshine Overglaze enamels to enhance your enamel work. She will share examples of her work and will cover the various oils for mixing the overglaze and its application.
Paul Nielson: “Flush Setting and Beyond”
