About
Explore chasing and repoussé techniques and learn methods for transferring a line drawing onto sheet metal. Then, following the pattern or drawing on your metal, you’ll create dimension by “pushing” the raised portions of your design from the back of the metal using repoussé punches. You’ll complete the design by refining the shapes, and adding texture and detail using chasing tools from the front side of the metal.
