Michael Good - Anticlastic Raising - Denver School of Metal Arts

In Michael Good's Anticlastic Raising, Michael will lead students through a series of specific exercises that are designed to teach the principles of how metal is formed from flat sheet into various forms where the axial and radial curves are oriented in opposite directions. Students will have a brief time to practice each stage in order to digest the concepts presented before moving on to the next exercise. The goal is for students to gain enough of a foundation in the sessions to be able to return to their own surroundings to practice at their leisure.
The course is designed for all skill levels including those with no previous metalsmithing experience. Michael’s philosophies and enthusiastic style make for an unforgettable experience!
