Description
Fold forming is a creative and dynamic way to manipulate metal. This practical guide explains the process, starting with simple line folds and showing how a few techniques can reveal the rich potential of the method.
Written for jewellers and metalsmiths, it explores the many beautiful ways in which fold forming can be used to distort and shape metal to incredible effect. The book introduces various methods and types of single folds, covers creating multiple folds using hammers and rolling mills, and explains how microfolding is particularly suited to jewellery and smallwork.
It encourages interpretation, experimentation, and development of the techniques to produce original pieces, helping you to unlock the full potential of fold forming in your work.
