January 21, 6:30 - 8pm Artists on Art is a dialogue series hosted by Amy Jordan Kincaid that originated in 2014, as a venue for promoting artists, and offering a dialogue where artists discuss art and process. Many of our guest artists have other stories or motivators that the community at large is unaware of, the “other” part of their story. Host, Amy Jordan Kincaid is intrigued by life stories and art processes; this event series combines the two and brings our community together in a casual setting to discover more about ourselves and the art community at large.

Betty Helen Longhi Forming Workshops 5241. Creating by Forming Metal - Part One Shell forming is a wonderful way to create three-dimensional structures for jewelry and sculpture from flat sheet metal. Using one hard tool, usually a hammer, and one resilient tool, a wood or plastic form, one can rapidly form metal sheet into desired shapes. Explore the fundamentals of sheet metal behavior and gain an understanding of the relationship between technique, tools and resulting forms. Specific techniques will include synclastic sinking to make a bracelet and later to make a bead. In addition we will use anticlastic raising to make a bracelet and other objects. These methods are also used to make transitions from one form to another resulting in more complex structures. Emphasis is on the great potential for forming in many ways and using these forms to create jewelry and sculptural objects. We will be working in the context of the new book Creative Metal Forming written by Betty Helen Longhi and her co-author Cynthia Eid. There is no requirement of skills to take the workshop but it is helpful to have had some experience with basic metal working skills such as sawing, soldering and buffing. A supply list will be emailed prior to the workshop. Instructor Betty Helen Longhi Location: Metals and Glass Studios Early Registration $525 (members $495) Regular Registration $545 (members $515) Thursday through Sunday, 1/21 - 1/24, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
5242. Creating by Forming Metal - Part Two This workshop will cover how to make spiculums, a process for making tapered tubes and decking, a way to make hollow forms called multi-shells. Make each type of spiculum, as well as a variation that creates an undulating seam line. Also, we will experiment with making spiculums that combine both synclastic and anticlastic methods to create a more complex form. In this new arena, there are endless possibilities for making bracelets, collars, earrings, beads, vessels and abstract sculptural forms. A multi-shell is a form resulting from soldering two or more forms together to make a hollow structure. In this workshop we will be making a Bi-Shell. Choose a spiculum from the early part of the workshop which has been partially closed to be the primary form. This is usually the deepest or most complex portion of the object. Then the deck, or secondary form, is created to fit against the open edges of the primary form and the two are soldered together. This is an excellent way to make hollow rings and bracelets as well as vases, teapots, and sculptures. This workshop is appropriate for students who have had an initial course in metalsmithing and preferably an introduction to basic shell forming. A supply list will be emailed.
