Anticlastic

For people with knowledge of jewelry techniques with the aim of increasing his/her skills

The term anticlastic makes reference to a metal forming technique with which you can create, relatively easy, tridimensional forms with opposite curves, from a metal sheet.

Of the relation between the technique, the metal, the tool, and the finished form, a dialogue emerges, of which you can explore the foundation of the metal’s behavior, its resistance and its plasticity. Creating exceptionally strong forms that at the same time are flexible and light.

Learn the basic concepts of the technique, discover the plasticity and the resistance of a flat sheet of metal and experiment its metamorphosis in an elegant piece.

Basic operations of forms: raising, tube, spiculum.
Knowledge and fabrication of tools, anvils and hammers.
Hammering patterns.
