Anticlastic Raising with Michael Good (In-House)

Learn the technique of Anticlastic Raising with the master. Michael Good will lead you on a journey of a technique that is both modern and ancient. Combining demonstration, instruction, and hands on learning, students will progress through a series of exercises designed to teach the principles of how metal is moved from flat sheet into non-definitive forms.   

Students will have a short time to practice each stage in order to digest the concepts presented before moving on to the next exercise. The goal is for students to gain enough of a foundation in the session to be able to return to their own surroundings to practice at their leisure. The course is designed for all skill levels including those with no previous metalsmithing experience.  Michael’s philosophies and enthusiastic style make for an unforgettable experience! Complete tool kits will be provided and are optionally available to purchase after each session.

The workshop fee is $950 per student and includes lunch each day and one dinner. Please contact Avi Good for details and registration information at 207.236.9619.
