This tutorial uses the most basic fold forming technique, line folds, and takes the technique into 3 different directions for 3 projects in one.
This lesson shows how to create folds in metal in order to create dimension and texture in your work. We will look at three different projects which take the fold formed metal in very different directions. You will learn to use the inherent properties of metal to your advantage - Work hardness becomes your friend!
Your imagination will ultimately determine what your pieces look like!
