Advanced Fold-Forming, Anticlastic and Synclastic Forging (Advanced Level) – Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design

Advanced Fold-Forming, Anticlastic and Synclastic Forging (Advanced Level)

Advanced Fold-Forming, Anticlastic and Synclastic Forging
Date: September 23 – November 18, 2026 (Wednesdays, 8 weeks)
Time: 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Instructor: Lynda Lou MacIntyre
Fee: $211.60 + HST (Members) | $241.22 + HST (Non-Members)

In this session, you will explore more complicated shapes in fold-forming. Building on the knowledge of tools and techniques you already have, you will explore the possibilities of creating new wearable fold-formed pieces! (no class on November 11)

Forging with tools created for anticlastic and synclastic forms, you will love the 3-dimensional pieces you come up with. They can be elegant and sleek, or embellished with stones and pearls.

See you in September!
