7-Hour Workshop

Date: Saturday, March 22

Time: 10am-5pm

Description: Learn one of the oldest metalsmithing tricks in the books, Chase and Repoussé! Often used together, chasing creates outlines on the front of the metal, while repoussé creates raised designs on the back. Hammer your heart out and create your own design on copper with guidance from Kattie. Students will be directed to resolve pieces as pendants. Afterwards, incorporate this into your own practice!

About the Artist

I graduated from Edinboro University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (focus in Metalsmithing-Jewelry) in 2019. During my time there, I discovered my love for being in a studio. I found myself especially drawn to hammer-forming techniques and fascinated by the intimate relationship I was able to have with the materials. I stayed in Edinboro for a Post-Baccalaureate opportunity to continue my work and engage as a graduate student for a year. Afterward, I decided to start a career as a jeweler. I currently live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I continue to learn and create in my personal studio, exhibit my work nationally, and explore opportunities.
