Hands-on Houston: Fold-Formed Leaf Necklace

Join metalsmith and former resident artist Edward Lane McCartney to learn fold-forming! Using a hammer and mallet, shape a stunning copper leaf by folding the metal and forming the edge to create an organic texture and curve. Once the hammering is complete, the copper can be unfolded to reveal a leaf-like form. Finish your piece by threading it onto a leather cord, creating a unique handcrafted necklace to wear!
