workshop | Make a spoon in copper or brass
Brooklyn Metal Works - Saturday May 18 & Sunday May 19
In this workshop students will learn how to form and sink the bowl of a spoon in copper or brass sheet using mallets and dapping blocks. Bowl designs can be embellished with drilled holes to create patterns. The handle will be made using heavy gauge wire in round or square profiles, employing twisting and forging techniques as design elements. The bowl and handle will be riveted together using wire and hammers, and metal surface finishing will complete the piece.
