Metal Techniques of Bronze Age Masters: Eastern Repoussé and Chasing, DVD and Tool Set

Learn the ancient techniques of Eastern repoussé and chasing through four projects that take you from lines and texture through some of the highest, most complex relief possible. Learn tool-making and how to apply repoussé to alternative materials such as bi-metal and mokumé gané. An inspirational gallery is included that features repoussé artwork by artists from around the world, as well as a special “Conversation with the Masters” segment with Victoria interviewing her teacher, Giorgi Gogishvili, and his teacher, his father, Jemal Gogishvili. Together, they discuss the recent history of these techniques, demonstrating on a sculptural scale.Also included is a set of Victoria Lansford high-relief Eastern repoussé tools, as described in the DVD. Precision-crafted from high-carbon 4130 steel on Swiss machines, highly polished and heat-treated to 50 HRC, the set includes two line tools (large and small), three push tools (large, small and edging), and three planishing tools (large, small and thin).
