What is an event without all the wonderful things we  learn and make and do?  Arenal invites Artisans and students of all types to join us!
Classes

We have 6 classes confirmed!  Can't wait to see you there!

A simple introduction to  Repousse and Chasing  by Lady Corina de Molinas 
Class Limit:  8
Please Bring:  $5 to cover supplies and tools.  This is a make & take class
Repousse is  a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side to create a design in low relief. There are few techniques that offer such diversity of expression while still being relatively economical. Chasing is the opposite technique to repoussé, and the two are used in conjunction to create a finished piece. It is also known as embossing. 
Working with stylus hand tools and 36 gauge copper , I have designs pre-made for populace badges for easy introduction to working with the metal. 
Tools will be on hand leather to work on and handouts of the process.
