Making Multiples, Blanking Dies and
Patterns with Jayne Redman

Date: Sat., Sept.14th and Sun., Sept.15th
Time: 9am to 4pm, both days

Location:  Metal Studio at Maryville University

Workshop Description: Making Multiples, Blanking Dies and Pattern Development. One-piece blanking dies allow you to easily cut out precise duplicate shapes from silver, gold and other non-ferrous sheet metals. Jayne Redman has been using this method for her own production jewelry for 18 years and has developed ways of creating dies and blanking multiples using basic shop tools. In this workshop you will learn how to develop patterns for this process and the method of sawing dies from flat stock tool steel. You will be amazed at how quickly you can go from original idea to duplicated shape as you make and use your own blanking dies during class. Jayne will be demonstrating her own inventive methods of forming, connecting, and engineering. Basic metalsmithing skills such as sawing and filing are required.
