No experience is necessary.  

Students will learn to use the metal's flexibility to make complex forms resembling chased, constructed and soldered shapes. Students will rapidly achieve results from single sheets of metal! The tools are simple: fingers, hammers, mallets, anvil, vise and rolling mill.

Students will create a large number of samples and learn many techniques which may be used in jewelry and object design.  Applying fold-forming to jewelry design will be discussed.
