Join us for this workshop and learn how the Greek and Thracian goldsmiths used Chasing and Repousse to decorate their fantastic gold and silver vessels. Beginners will chase intricate designs using fine liners. Intermediate level students will master deep chasing which resembles repousse, and those with advanced skills will create designs in high relief using the snarling iron. All levels welcome.
Valentin Yotkov returns to Metalwerx to teach a new chasing and repousse workshop using a copper vessel and working in 3D. This workshop is perfect for those who have previously taken a chasing workshop and wish to work in a new and exciting way or beginners who wish to learn this ancient artform.
