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 5


11:00am - I've given up hammering on a brick, and moved to a big, flat rock. It chews up the copper less! I also wonder if it will get too thin, and sure enough, I hammered the tip right off! Hmmm. Still LOVE the colors I can get heating copper. And I'm having fun with my pliers, as you can see.

In and of itself, these are beautiful shapes and forms, organic and flowing, as well as light and strong.
