A fast-paced workshop that will introduce participants to creating form and texture in metal with the hydraulic press to create a “sampler quilt.” Participants will learn how to achieve results not easily accomplished with any other methods by using the hydraulic press to experiment with techniques such as embossing, pillowing, forming, and die cutting.

Workshop participants will learn to utilize mechanical or “cold connections” that require just a few tools and no soldering. Cold connections will be used to “piece” our metal quilt together, fasten metal layers to one another, and incorporate found objects like beads and shells.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April 4th to 6th from 10am to 5pm

Note that this workshop is available as a virtual or in-person class!
