Thor's Velvet Hammer: An Introduction to Anticlastic Raising

Course Overview

Experience the softer side of Molnar the Hammer by forging a silver cuff-style bracelet in this class. Anticlastic raising is a technique in which the edges of a flat sheet of metal are compressed while the center is stretched so the surface develops two curves. While ancient Scandinavians used deer antlers as forms, we’ll use a hammer and a sinusoidal stake for anticlastic raising to form sheet metal. Traditional jewelry techniques explored in this course include cutting, annealing, anticlastic forging and polishing.
