In Class - Tuesday, October 13

Yolanda gave a presentation on Curtis H. Arima and Hannah gave hers on Cynthia Eid. For those of you who missed class, you might take a moment to investigate the work of these two artists.

Following the presentations, Metals I discussed designs and ideas for the container project. The remainder of class was spent working on the project.

Advanced Metals had a demonstration on crimping and angle raising. This demonstration included:

• Designing and measuring the full-size rendering for construction.
• Using dividers in the kernel to mark and cut a disk.
• Annealing with the rosebud tip.
• Dividing and marking the disk.
• Crimping the disk on a v-block with a soft cross-peen hammer.
• Raising the disk on a T-stake with a raising hammer.

For Thursday:

Ashley, Kari, and MacKenzie will give presentations.

Metals I will have a brief discussion of designs for the Container Project and potential technical issues. Storyboards should be completed by the beginning of class. There will also be a demonstration of bezel setting (optional) and a recap of soldering with two torches. The remainder of the class will be spent working on the project.

Advanced Metals will have a discussion of designs for the Vessel Project. There will also be a second demonstration of the raising process. Be sure to complete the assigned reading and have disks cut and ready to work. The remainder of class will be spent working on the project.
