Holy Toledo. This video took 90 minutes to upload. I'll try to post a clip each night or early morning, but after I get home it will be easier to share more of these. Below, Charles demonstrates a (mixed) star fold that is hammered half on the folded edge and half on the open edge. It takes place midway through yesterday's hands-on session. He had demonstrated quite a few star variations earlier in the day, and this one is a review, by request, to help us practice. August 2012 on SueLacy Wired is dedicated to the 5th annual Charles Lewton-Brain Conference on Foldforming, taking place Aug 3-6 at the Center for Metal Arts in downstate NY. To view the series, click category "5th Annual Charles Lewton-Brain Conference" in the far right column on this page. (Are you a metalsmith interested in foldforming?

Nice demo! Thanks for sharing even though it took 90 minutes to upload. I wish I could be there. I did get exciting news tho that Charles may be coming in the spring to do a workshop where I take classes. I am super excited!!!
