Advanced Copper Fold Form Workshop

"Fold-forming lets me see directly into nature, into the relationships between process and material. The forms that emerge from the material are truly magical," says copper fold form inventor Charles Lewton-Brain. The working processes are very close to the nature of the material, and modeling of nature is often apparent in fold forms. Come work with the favorite tools for copper fold-forming: fingers, hands, hammers, mallets, torches, anvils and the rolling mill. There are 6 families of fold-forms, with thousands of variations within each, and if you come up with a new family of forms, Charles offers to let you name it yourself! The class will be held Sunday, October 10, from 10 AM to 2:30 PM at the Center for Metal Arts, 44 Jayne St. Florida NY 10921. Cost is $80 plus a $15 material fee. Seating is limited, for personal hands-on time at the anvil. Registration with $45 deposit to hold a seat. For students who have taken the introductory fold form class.
