Students will explore the process of open die forming. It employs the use of a plywood and Masonite form or die. A profile of the object to be made is cut out of the die; the copper is placed between layers of Masonite and hammered into a three-dimensional shape. The two sides are then blazed together and any decorations are added. The total size of the die is 16” x 32”, which allows for a 10” x 26” hollow form. Tuition covers tools and materials. Students must provide their own safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves.
