Time: 6:00pm
Location: The Salvation Army Church and Community Centre, Canmoor St, Hereford, HR4 9JJ
Internationally renowned repoussé artist Douglas Pryor will be flying in from Sacramento, California to talk to demonstrate his approach to chasing. Repoussé is a technique where metal is shaped by hammering the reverse side to create a raised design on its front side. Chasing or embossing is a similar technique, but the hammering is done on the front side, sinking the metal inwards.
