Qui-Que, The faces take anywhere from two hours to 8 hours depending on detail. It takes very few strokes to give the idea of a face in metal. It takes much more to refine the idea created. Next year I am teaching a two day workshop in "Making Faces" here in Tucson. Fred Zweig » reply  Suggestion: If you create an

Hi Fred your faces work is just great. What kind of casting material do you usually use for shaping your copper sheet over the molded face? I live to far buddy, but if you could assemble a step by step tutorial on your hands-on work to sell it on line, I`d bet I wouldn`t be the only one to join in. Nice work! nelson » reply Hi Nelson, The faces are

Hi Nelson, The faces are modeled free-hand without a mold and pitch is used to support the copper sheet while it is being pushed around. I will post a demo after the workshop. I will be creating a sequence of progression for the workshop and will gladly share it with the folks here. Thanks for the compliments. Fred » reply Here's a link to the three

Very nice work Fred, Faces were actually what got me started into metalwork. I asked the local metals professor to teach me how to make a couple of faces in steel(I was a painter, knew nothing about metal). She said "no, take a class." Liked the class so much that I eventually married the teacher.I thought you might like to see some of » reply |

I can see you do love making
I can see you do love making faces Fred! There's no doubt in my mind that you get off on this type of metalwork. Now, can you give our audience an idea of how long it takes to make one of the faces?
