I have been experimenting with copper sheet foldforming techniques. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has made a copper foldformed bowl.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share what I got to do on my Spring Break (been taking classes at the College). I had the opportunity to go out to Ireland for 9 days, and spent 5 of those days with Brian at the Bregin Clarke Studio School of Metalsmithing! It was a great time! It was nice to see some of the friends I made there some years back. The Guinness was AMAZING too!

Is anyone having as much fun doing foldforming as I am?
I first started doing mild steel forged hot, lots of hard work holding on to the bowl.
I like the copper much better (cold) and have done some sterling silver and one small shot glass in bronze. I would like your input on what is out there.Beggars Shot Glass: Copper with golden patina outside with black inside. Foldformed and hand hammered. 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 1 3/4" high.Domed Bagers Box: This box is part of a series called Bagger’s Boxes. Line folds, domed top, riveted, with bottom (with feet) held in by lower line ford. Blue-green patina. 2 ½” x 3 ¼” x 3” high.

My husband is helping me out in getting better quality photos for juried shows. I'm very happy with the quality of the photo for these "new to the technique" earrings.
