Anticlasic Raising in Free-Form

Jamie Santellano — Sun, 18 May 2008 14:13:25 -0500

This is a piece of Copper scrap I found in my Studio, which was a negative from some flames I cut out a while ago. I filed down the edges, and used the Anticlastic technique to see how the shape would react to it. I got some amazing curves, and the transitions are smooth. With more practice, and a wider range of sinusoidal stakes I'm positive I will be able to create some amazing pieces.

Heres the bowl off the stand. I love making stuff that I can imagine being used by Druids in their ceremonies.

Below is a pic of a couple of copper pipe vases I'm working on for Christmas presents. One started with 8" section of copper pipe and the other started as 10" section of pipe and ended up being 7" tall and the other 9" tall. Started with 2" type L copper pipe.
