    Wyoming Metalsmiths Assoc. in conjunction with University of Wyoming
    is presenting a workshop taught by Lee Marshall. This is a five-day
    workshop, from June 24-28, 2002.This workshop is the intensive
    hydraulic press forming, which is a combination of the basic and
    advanced techniques. The workshop will be held on campus at the
    University of Wyoming in Laramie, WY. 

    The techniques that will be taught are of interest to those working
    in jewelry, sculpture and other disciplines requiring limited
    production or unique one-of-a-kind creations in metal. The
    presenter, Lee Marshall, is nationally renown for his teaching and
    is the founder of Bonny Doon Engineering. 

    The curriculum will include making and using a variety of dies for
    forming and cutting metal, including matrix, pancake, blanking and
    embossing dies. Participants will learn how to use formers to make
    synclastic and anticlastic forms, tubing, cuffs and bangle forms,
    ring stock and shallow drawing hollow forms and vessels. Technical
    data will include using hydraulics safely, the use of pads and
    durometers to achieve special effects, containing blocks, brakes,
    daps and other specialized tooling.

    of mountains along the Colorado/Wyoming border. We have absolutely
