Metal Collage
2690 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 19, Studio 206, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $88 - $98
Compose a figurative, scenic, abstract, or autobiographical collage with metals. Acquire new skills using metalsmithing tools and techniques to cut shapes from thin-gauge copper or brass. Fringe, file, emboss, stamp, punch, and hammer to add texture, words, and detail. Use pliers, mandrels and fingers to bend, fold, and form metal dimensionally.
Enrich metals with color using oxidizing solutions. Learn to twist, coil, spiral, and sew wires to make cold-connections and add linear movement to your design. Arrange your metal shapes compositionally and attach to a wood base using steel, copper and brass nails, brads, tacks, screws, and wires.
