Michael will lead students through a series of exercises that are designed to teach the principles of Anticlastic Raising, how metal is moved from flat sheet into non-definitive forms. Students will have a short time to practice each stage in order to digest the concepts presented before moving on to the next exercise. The goal is for students to gain enough of a foundation in the session to be able to return to their own surroundings to practice at their leisure.

This workshop is appropriate for students with basic metalsmithing skills as well as professionals.
