You’ll explore roll-printing to create textured sheet using found materials and handmade stencils, and then bring those surfaces into the press to cut, shape, and form them into dimensional pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1095\" data-start=\"722\"\u003eA key focus will be on working with silhouette (pancake) dies, dapping forms, and other press tools. You’ll also learn how to make your own dies, giving you the ability to create custom, repeatable forms and add dimension to your work. These techniques open up a wide range of possibilities, from simple formed elements to more complex pieces like lockets and hollow forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1424\" data-start=\"1097\"\u003eAs you move between the rolling mill and press, you’ll see how texture behaves — how it stretches, compresses, and transforms through each stage. Nanz will also cover essential technical aspects such as annealing, re-pressing for deeper draws, edge definition, and approaches to soldering and finishing textured, formed pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1581\" data-start=\"1426\"\u003eThis is a hands-on, process-driven workshop with demonstrations, guided exercises, and time to experiment and build your own library of textures and forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1714\" data-start=\"1583\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1714\" data-start=\"1583\"\u003ePlease note: this workshop is a prerequisite for independent use of the rolling mill and hydraulic press during open studio time.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1714\" data-start=\"1583\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"139\" data-end=\"167\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"139\" data-end=\"165\"\u003eImportant Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"168\" data-end=\"631\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"168\" data-end=\"341\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"170\" data-end=\"341\"\u003eCourses are for students \u003cstrong data-start=\"195\" data-end=\"212\"\u003e16+ years old\u003c\/strong\u003e.
