"Steel Repousse: Painting with an Iron Palette" with Warren Holzman [REGISTER HERE]

Students will learn the fundamentals related to chasing and repousse in steel.  Repousse is an exciting way to create relief images that exists somewhere between drawing and sculpture.  The approach will focus on dynamic image development not unlike composition related to painting. Students will have the opportunity to work on larger scale pieces created over a wood stump. The course will cover design development, tool making and finishing.
