Introduction to Fold-Forming Jewelry

Fold-forming was invented by Charles Lewton-Brain in the late 1980s as a completely new way of forming, folding and unfolding sheet metal quickly into wonderful 3-D shapes and textures. In this five-hour fold-forming basics workshop, you’ll work hands-on with the torch, hammer and anvil to learn to fold, shape and texture metal to create a unique cuff bracelet, earrings or pendant from copper sheet metal. Heat patinas will also be discussed and applied to some of your pieces. All supplies included in the course cost. No experience needed. Class will take a short lunch break so be sure to bring a packed lunch.
