Join me for a special extended Master Class immersed in learning ways to design unique tools to use in the hydraulic press. We will be staying on the campus of the William Holland School of Lapidary with workshop hours during the day, and scheduled events with more workshop time in the evenings.
Dies Three Ways is not your everyday die-forming workshop! Put an inventive and non-conventional spin on three ways, (at least) of die-forming to reproduce your designs quickly and accurately.
Silhouette dies allow you to make rounded relief forms in metal. Press from both sides of the die to make mirror images for beads or hollow forms. Use thermal reactive plastic for quick contour inserts.
Non-conforming dies carved from cast acrylic add contour and detail to your forms. Combine a silhouette die and a non-conforming die into a hybrid die for both contour and larger relief areas. Make conforming intensifiers with thermal plastic.
Design and create blanking (pancake) dies to instantly cut out the exact shapes you form, or incorporate your shape within a larger outline.
We will be using the Jayne Redman Rotational Bench Pin System and the Jayne Redman Rotational WorkRing System during the workshop. Both will be available for purchase at special student pricing.
