Hot Sheet Forming I and II with Vivian Beer

Vivian Beer Hot Sheet Forming

When Vivian Beer set out to form sheet steel into bold expressive forms, she couldn’t find a workshop to teach her the things she wanted to know, so she taught herself. Her resulting body of art furniture work is collectible and evolving. Vivian has built a workshop series around what she has learned about expressive sheet forming, with applications ranging from large scale sculpture to custom auto body work. Building on last winter’s very cool hot sheet class, she is taking her improvisations on creative hot sheet forming to an expanded two-weekend session. Hot Sheet Forming I (January 14-15, 2012) covers the processes of rolling, curving, sinking and raising in sheet. and Creative Sheet Forming II (February 11-12) learn to form and fabricate steel sheet in order to make hollow expressive forms. (Intermediate to Advanced). . . . → Read More: Hot Sheet Forming I and II with Vivian Beer
