Let’s add texture or images to your metal by using a hydraulic press! In this 5-hour workshop you will learn how to use impression dies to create 2-dimensional jewelry pieces. You will learn how to cut shapes using pancake dies. This is great for jewelry production work. You will also learn how to “puff up” your work using silhouette dies.
