Multiples for Installation, Jewelry + Objects
Session 4 | July 27–August 8
Flourish 3 by Lauren Kalman, 2021. Digital video still. 1 second looped. Gold-plated copper and bronze, 5” x 7” x.5” stamped and pressed copper using the hydraulic press made from hand and digitally fabricated pressing and cutting dies.
This workshop will explore both hand and digital techniques to produce molds and dies, allowing for the reproduction of sheet metal components using the hydraulic press. Basics of hand and digital fabrication will be presented between the Metals Studio and the Haystack Fab Lab. Haystack has a limited number of computers, but it is recommended that participants bring a laptop with Adobe Illustrator. Participants will leave with a combination of dies, experiments, prototypes, small projects, and big ideas. All levels welcome.
