The tutorial topic for this Tuesday is....
FOLD FORMING!
(please click photos for a larger image)
One of my favorite techniques even though I often find it very challenging to turn the pieces into actually jewelry is fold forming. (any tips for finished jewelry please leave a comment!). I love working with the general properties of the metal, moving the metal with a hammer, and the organic shapes that result.
Charles Lewton-Brain is the 'father' of fold forming having spent much time and effort condensing and recording the steps into reproducable results -hence a 'technique'! All of these links will point to tutorials by Charles, these are just a few.
Basic T-Fold
Boat Fold
Heistad cup (one of my faves!)
