Level: This class is perfect for both beginners and experienced jewellers.

Explore the creative and technical possibilities of fold forming and curved score techniques in this intensive one-day metal workshop with Jenny Deans. Designed for jewellers, silversmiths and contemporary metalworkers, this practical course teaches you how to transform flat sheet metal into expressive three-dimensional forms.

Through structured demonstrations and guided studio practice, you will gain confidence in shaping copper sheet using controlled folding, scoring, hammering and rolling techniques.

Fold forming is a highly efficient and sculptural metal forming process that allows dramatic volume and movement to emerge from a simple sheet of metal. By understanding how metal reacts to pressure, heat and repetition, you can create lightweight yet dynamic forms suitable for jewellery, vessels and sculptural work.

This workshop introduces both traditional fold-forming methods and curved scoring approaches, enabling you to expand your metal-forming skills and introduce new surface and structural possibilities into your practice.

What You Will Learn
During this hands-on metal forming course, you will:
• Understand the principles of fold forming in copper sheet
• Learn how curved score techniques influence direction and movement.
• Develop knowledge of work hardening and annealing.
• Gain confidence using hammers and a rolling mill.
• Practise stretching and compressing sheet metal.
• Create a collection of technical samples and experimental forms.
