Additional Information
Repoussé art, a time-honored technique in metalworking’s history, involves adorning metals by elevating elements of the design from the article’s backside or interior using hammers and punches. The front can later be embellished with additional definition and detailing through engraving or chasing. It is a perfect workshop to gain a more profound understanding of the commitment and labor required to produce a masterpiece using this art form.
