Sculptural Masks in Steel
$650.00

October 28-30, 2026

Instructor: Lashen Orendorff

Just in time for Hallows Eve! Explore mask-making using forged steel. Students will design and create a sculptural mask using steel flatstock and will learn techniques similar to repousee and chasing, for shaping and texturing the masks by hand. This class introduces the sculptural use of different punches and chisels as well as swages and dishing forms to bring depth and detail to the features of the masks. Each student will create a one-of-a-kind sculptural mask and learn how to form, texture and finish hot plate steel to bring a sense of life and presence to their works.
