Lessons in Copper Tooling: The Frog
Join artist and instructor Sharon Hofer in an immersive copper tooling class, where you’ll create a stunning fine art masterpiece centered around the elegant form of a frog. This project invites participants to explore the intricate process of drawing their design, carefully transferring it onto a copper sheet, and using embossing techniques to bring the image to life with rich texture and dimension. The final step involves staining the copper to enhance its depth and detail, resulting in a rich, fine artwork that captures the beauty of this fascinating amphibian. Perfect for beginners , this class offers a unique opportunity to master the foundational skills of copper tooling.
Note: Blick currently only carries 18 and 16 gauge copper which is far to thick. Sharon recommends 36 gauge copper as it is much easier to use. On the “View Supply List” page there is a link to a copper sheet on Amazon that fits her recommendations.
