These 4 days I am spending under the tutelage and guidance of the guru of fold forming himself are seriously the best investment I have ever made in my career as a jewelry artist. I have idea's that will keep me busy for years. Not even the lunch hour is wasted; Charles uses them to give impromptu lectures. Today we had a great informational session on small scale photography. Even the "throwaway" sessions are invaluable!
As is his custom, Charles began the morning of
Day 3 with a few reviews:
 |
| Charles at the Anvil |
 |
| Romero Fold Ruffled and Unruffled |
 |
| Forged & Milled Good Fold |
 |
| Student Work by Dave Kurdyla |
FYI: A list of recommended metals books:
After lunch new material was demo'd...
 |
| Boat Fold |
 |
| Cross Fold |
 |
| Round Line Fold |
We received lots of personal attention during studio time and one-on-one help from
Charles. Here's my masterpiece of the day....can you believe this was once a flat sheet of 3"x3" copper? Me neither...

Dinner with the whole group at a local Mexican Restaurant rounded out the day and I'm pleasantly exhausted....
