This is a complete introduction to the use of the hydraulic press from safety and operation to nuanced techniques and experimentation.

We will experiment with embossing, pillowing, bending and die cutting techniques to achieve results not easily attained with any other method. Each participant will also make custom individual dies that can be used in limitless combinations to form metal in ways unique to the hydraulic press.

Friday, March 16th and Saturday, March 17th from 9-5pm
