Copper Wildflowers
Coppersmithing: Level 1

This introductory workshop focuses on creating natural plant forms using a variety of copper forming and joinery techniques: fold forming, forging, hollowing, raising, fullering, veining, soldering, drilling and tapping.

Everyone will be led through a series of exercises to create petals, stems, stamens and leaves. We’ll examine a variety of plant forms, and growth patterns and look at the transitions between each of the parts. All of the individual pieces will then be assembled into flowers that have a convincingly natural appearance.

Class runs from 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday with a 1h lunch. All materials, safety equipment, coffee and tea will be provided. Lunch is available in town / an indoor lunch area with a microwave and fridge is provided on site if you bring your own food. Please wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. See you there!

COST: $500 (+ HST + eventbrite registration fee)
