Bring Art into your life- Enjoy wonderful 3 dimensional sculptural work.
On May 20th you have a chance to visit the beautiful sculpture garden at Hawk Ridge Farm for “Embracing Earth”. A number of my pieces are included in the show. The image below is “Spring Series #1”, a piece that is hammered out of a flat sheet of copper.
I look forward to meeting you at the opening. Or you will enjoy a stroll through the wooded sculpture path at any other time you can make it. More information is below.
Another sculpture show “Power of Place” will open on June 7th in Wells Reserve at Laudholm Wells. I am still working on a piece that will be included in that show. I can’t wait to finish it and have you be able to see and interact with it.
Enjoy the slow coming spring. Antje

This is a selection of pieces I am sending to a new to me Gallery in Portland ME. Casco Bay Artisans.
Foldform Earrings in silver and copper
Bronze belt buckles with different finishes
This is how they look like on a belt
Forged copper belt buckle and pendant set.
Students will learn how to create draw handles, pulls, hooks or other metal elements, ( or bracelets, earrings) by hammering/forging a square or round rod of copper. This workshop gives a basic understanding of how metal can move and how pliable it is. Hammer marks can be used as design elements or can be planished out, filed smooth and even polished. In addition we will explore how to hammer sheet metal into decorative design elements. (or jewelry) Flat sheets also can be folded and hammer to explore very 3 dimensional shapes. Who knows where inspiration will take you.
This workshop will expand the vocabulary of the students, learning what is possible with metal. This exploration might also open the doors to use metal elements in conjunction with the wood design.
Even if students don’t want to fabricate the metal pieces themselves, they will have an idea of how to design it and work with a metalsmith to fabricate exactly what fits their design.
Most practice pieces will be done in copper, but eventually can be executed out of brass, bronze, silver or other metals, depending on the technique.

Tools:
Tools that would be good to have, but not necessary for the class itself: cross peen hammers, planishing hammers, any metal plate that can receive hammer marks. (I now have a nice selection of hammers to share and metal plates.)
Ear protection is a must and may be leather glove for the holding hand.
I am looking forward to spending time with you and teaching you some new skills.

How do you like this new set? The pendant is the newest design.
Constance Rush, Lucent Journey, marble, 10 x 28 x 8 inches
When a sculpture is carefully sited on the landscape, both the piece and the place resonate in new ways. This exhibition and sale features sculpture by fifty New England artists shown in a country home and surrounding meadows, historic gardens and a woodland trail. Visit this exhibition to select sculpture for your home and garden and join us for our Maple Tree Talks.
Open by appointment with Open Houses Sunday afternoons from 2:00 – 400 pm
