Chasing on Three Dimensional Forms
with
David Huang

September 21-23, 2018 

​We are so honored to once again host the amazingly talented David Huang in September 2018!
Our 2 previous workshops, in association with the Michigan Silversmith's Guild, were hugely popular and tremendously rewarding for workshop participants, and sold out quickly.
Don't miss your chance to learn this beautiful technique from a true master artisan!

The main focus of this workshop will cover David Haung’s techniques of chasing designs into copper vessels, including a discussion and demonstrations on making chasing tools and patina techniques. Microcrystalline wax will be used instead of the more traditional pitch. A spun copper vessel is included, and wax and a set of chasing tools will be available for student use during class. A recommended tool and supply  list will be sent to students prior to the workshop.
