Join us in this comprehensive 2 day workshop where we'll be exploring the plasticity of sheet metals through raising and chasing. This method is designed to keep the relative thickness of the material consistent to the original thickness, allowing the chaser to save material for sculpture and dramatic undercuts without losing the inheritance strength of the material.

We only have 2 days for this course so we'll be moving fairly quickly. Not to worry! Whether you are brand new to chasing or an old hand at the chisel, the projects are designed to move at your own pace. The workshop will begin with an easy warm up project to allow everyone to acclimate to the tooling and we will go over the methods and techniques used. Following that, participants can choose from a variety of projects that Douglas has intentionally designed to guide you through working in steel and copper.

Can’t participate but want to check some of the work?

Saturday August 14, 6pm-9pm join us for the opening of Fe Gallery’s art show “Heterogeneous’ featuring live Blacksmith demo by Douglas Pryor
