I'm pretty pleased with the pomegranates that rose out of the 22 gauge copper sheet brought to my first Chasing and Repousse' workshop! Davide Biggazzi is an excellent instructor, and yes - he did a small bit of the work on this piece. Nothing like working directly on the piece to show the technique when moving along in the steps of the process....
Starting with this outline from Davide, I punched and punched the dots around the tracing paper to transfer the image to the copper sheet.
We worked the back of the piece (repousse'), then switched to the front of the piece to refine the design (chasing). A couple minor touchups were then made on the back and front (by Davide) once the piece had been removed from the pitch bowl.
