Book & Paper Arts Workshops
Full Metal Jacket (Brasstown, NC)
"Repujado" is the Spanish word for the art of metal embossing. Similar to repoussé, metalwork in relief, artists create 3-D images that shine and reflect light beautifully. Using a simple set of hand tools, practice repujado basics on sheets of copper, aluminum, and pewter. As the week progresses, so will your skill set. Finish by designing your own journal - a one-of-a-kind, ribbon-bound book with embossed copper or pewter covers. All levels welcome.

Instructor: Lynda Abare is a repujado artist and teacher. Her background -- collegiate, corporate, and professional -- has always been focused on teaching, creative writing, and graphic design. Her artist-self seeks expression with hand tools, a camera, and oftentimes a computer and printer, creating hand-bound books and journals embellished with hand-embossed metal -- and their pages filled with calligraphy, haiku, and photographs. She says there's nothing better than "creating artwork that can be handled, perused, enjoyed... beautiful AND functional."
