Hi All,

    I am doing two fold-forming workshops this summer. 

    One workshop is at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary,
    http://acad.ab.ca/, Mon-Thursday July 2-5th. 

    Call 403-284-7640 for registration information or email
    extendedstudies AT acad.ca. There are college dorms next door to ACAD,
    and you get to come to my house for a glass of wine and a visit at
    the end of the workshop. The workshop is carefully timed to end so
    that the next day is the gigantic Stampede parade and Calgary goes
    into full party mode for ten days with the Calgary Stampede. EXJw

    A workshop description: 

    Charles Lewton-Brain invented fold forming, which is now
    internationally recognized as a completely new way to work metal.
    Forms are derived from the natural plasticity and ductility of the
    metal. Shaping is extremely efficient and rapid - many forms are
    complete in 3-7 minutes. Tools are simple: fingers, hammer, anvil and
    mill. Complex relief forms are made from sheets of metal often in one
    annealing. Forms made with this method resemble chased constructed
    and soldered forms and can be made with most metals, including steel. 


    The second fold-forming workshop is at Metalwerx in Mass. 25 July -
    29 July 2007 (http://www.metalwerx.com/workshop/132) 

best
Charle
