HYDRAULIC PRESS AND DIE FORMING WORKSHOP________
JUNE 7- 8
10am TO 4pm
The hydraulic press is a metal frame that holds a hydraulic jack. The force of the jack allows the user to apply extreme pressure, pushing the metal through a die. This creates a "pillowed" form with little stress to the metal.
In this workshop students learn to use the hydraulic press, how to make a die and how to use their die to the fullest by altering the pressed form before and after it is soldered. You will also learn to utilize the same die for different results and create your own die to take home. This is a very exciting way to move metal without the use of hammers and stakes or marring the surface. It is an essential technique for production artists. This technique is great for all skill levels of jewelers and metalsmiths.
COST: $ 495. + MATERIALS FEE: $25.
