Tom Herman 5 day workshop. July 7-11
Class Description: A workshop on chasing, engraving, and piercing
metal. In this workshop we’ll make chasing tools, tune up hammers and
sharpen gravers, all the better to carve with.
Using Bas Relief techniques we’ll sculpt metal into ornamental
patterns. Students should come with clear ideas of what they want to
achieve and how these techniques will enhance their own work. They’re
encouraged to bring pieces of their own work (castings, blank bands,
and stones). We’ll lay out patterns on a band with tracing punches
that they will make. Then drill and saw pierce, and with gravers we
will shape the ornament. Then with texturing punches we’ll shape and
define the ornament. Students are encouraged to practice saw piercing
by cutting out coins (at least 3). We will be making the series of
chasing punches that will get you started on being able to create any
ornament. Practice drawing the kind of ornament you want to carve,the
more you understand a pattern the better you can sculpt it. Tom’s
website is www.sevenfingers.com/ if you want to see his work. (The
images on his website do not do the work justice, it is remarkable.)

We take all the major credit cards. Hope to see you this spring.
