Fold Forming
I received Charles Lewton-Brain’s book, Foldforming, today from Amazon. I am in love with this book. I am have been wanting to learn how to add veins to leaves by using fold forming techniques, but Charles Lewton-Brain has taken fold forming to the nth degree. His step-by-step instructions in the book are so easy to follow. He will be teaching this summer at Metalwerx in Waltham, MA. I wish I had the time/ money to go. It’s a week long class starting August 6th. Charles Lewton-Brain has published many articles ranging from Fold Forming, to Patinas for Small Studios, to Small Tools for Jewelers. These are wonderful articles to add to your library. You can get many of these articles one on CD. He has also written many articles on Ganoskin. Here’s my fist attempt at fold forming. Nothing is filed yet or sanded. I had a blast hammering away at the metal. I think this was the most I’ve ever used my torch. I cannot wait to get into the studio to make more pieces.
I too just received this book. I have just learned to do simple folds. I aspire to learn more as I think this is just an awesome look. Thanks for the link to the classes.
