Intro

I am always after the next, new hobby. I'm a serial hobbyist. I try something, and do it not half badly, but then I get intrigued by something else, and I'm off again. So, after over 1/2 century of this behavior, I'm going to be stern with myself. My 'newest' shiny is anticlastic metalworking. My experience in metalworking? One introduction metalsmithing class at the local University Craft Center where I learned about safety and a youtube video. I kid you not.

So my goal is to do an anticlastic piece almost every day and record the results over the next year. See what I learn, see what happens, see the ideas, see what I do with it, see where it ends up! Wish me luck.

Day 10

 11:07pm - I've taken to hammering folds that aren't 'opposing' - it seems that the curve is countering if too close in proximity! Small labradorite cab will be bezeled and soldered in where it sits in the pic.

I've upgraded! My little 4oz. jeweler's hammer and steel plate 'anvil' arrived today. I admit the copper is MUCH less beaten up. 


Old

New!
