Hi everyone,

    There is still space available in the workshops I will be teaching
    in September at Wolf Designs, Portland, Maine. Visit Kate's website
    katewolfdesigns.com for details. The class descriptions are as
    follows: 

    Blanking Dies Made Easy 

    September 21- 22 (Tues- Thurs) 

    One-piece blanking dies allow you to easily cut out precise
    duplicate shapes from silver, gold and other nonferrous sheet metals.
    Jayne Redman has been using this method for her own production
    jewelry for 10 years and has developed ways of creating dies and
    blanking multiples using basic shop tools. In this workshop you will
    learn how to design patterns for this process and the methods of
    sawing dies from flat stock tool steel. Students will be amazed at
    how quickly they can go from original idea to duplicated shapes as
    they make and use their own blanking dies during class. We will be
    using Susan Kingsley's book, Hydraulic Die Forming for Jewelers and
    Silversmiths, as a reference.

    The Keum-boo Process 
    September 23- 24 (Fri.- Sat); Wolf Designs, Portland, Maine 

    Keum-boo is a beautiful and cost effective technique used to bond
    gold and silver to the surface of jewelry and holloware. In this
    workshop, students roll out 24k gold and fine silver and apply it to
    three dimensional, flat, and textured metal surfaces. We will
    experiment with different metals and patinas to create a variety of
    color combinations. Among our discussions will be ways to use the
    technique in production as well as one-of-a-kind work, and pattern
    development for three dimensional objects. 

Best regards,
Jayne Redman
