David Huang: "Angle-raised Vessels"
Post conference workshop
CoMA is proud to welcome David Huang back to Colorado to give a
workshop on his techniques of angle-raising, chasing and patina
application on vessels. David will present a five day workshop at
Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, CO, from July 20-24. Using
just a hammer and stake, students will learn to raise and form a
vessel from a 6" circle of copper. They will then chase a design on
the outside and apply patinas to them. David is an incomparable
artist, a master smith who has a gifted ability to use simple hand
tools to express works of timeless beauty. His work is widely
exhibited in a number of well-known galleries and published in a
number of books and journals, including: Lark Books: 500 metal
vessels; Japanese Patinas" by Eitoku Sugimori, Brynmorgen Press; and
"Inquire Within: the Holloware of David Huang" - Metalsmith 2008
volume 28 no. 3. Please check out his website to view his
extraordinary work: www.davidhuang org Cost for the 5 day workshop
