Interest in Anticlastic Raising?

Jewelry Discussion

Dang.

Between Fold Forming and Anticlastic raising, Calgary just might be
the place to be for the metal bender.

Question to all, is there a sudden interest in Anticlastic raising
developing?

My interest is in larger scale works.

Where in Calgary? I love the plasticity of metal and have taken shell
forming with Betty Helen Longhi. I would love info a really good fold
forming class.

Fold Forming is offered in Calgary at the Alberta College of Art and
Design. The course is taught by Charles Lewton-Brain who is the
inventor of fold forming. I took this course from Charles several
years ago and I highly recommend it. This summer, the course runs
from June 26 to 29 and costs $465 cdn. Call (403) 284-7640 to
register.

Hi Susan, Since I invented it I would suggest that the fold-forming
class I am giving the last week of June might be among the best…

Call 403-284-7640 to get registration at the Alberta
College of Art and Design. Guylaine Cyr is teaching the anticlastic
one this summer as well in our summer program.

Susan,

The classes I am aware of are:

1.Anticlastic /Synclastic forming at Alberta College of Art and
Design. From David Popham: course number EXJW061X1, May 5,6 & 7,
Gulaine Cyr, instructor. (http://www.acad.ab.ca) This was posted on
Orchid on 4/4/2006

  1. Fold Forming worshop with Charles Lewton-Brain at his studio.
    June 26th thru the 29th. (brainnet@telus.net) This was posted on
    orchid around March 25th.

I am planning on taking Charles’ class at the end of June. The
Anticlastic work will have to wait a while. Sure do want to go to
Brian Smith’s school in Ireland for a Michael Good workshop one day
soon. The deer antler thing works.

I was introduced to Fold Forming in a workshop by Betty Helen Longi
too. Changed my work completely. Now I want to change the scale that
I am working in. There is a 3’ x 10’ sheet of copper begging to be
dinged.

Hope this helps. Do you live anywhere near Asheville, NC?

Charles, I have the form to fill out for the class in June. I have

Betty Helen at her Getaway workshops at her studio in NC.
