Nancy Megan Corwin

I am rather excited about this upcoming broadcast. After reading Megan’s web site and sharing it with Jay Whaley, we have decided to invite Megan to give a Chasing and Repousse Workshop this coming quarter at Whaley Studios, YES!

Hugs,

On today’s program, I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak with Nancy ‘Megan’ Corwin; see: http://nancymegancorwin.com, for more information. Nancy holds degrees from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, MFA in Art Metals and a BA, in Art/Ethno-musicology. Megan is an accomplished and committed practitioner in the art of chasing and repoussé. Brynmorgen Press will shortly publish Corwin’s title ‘Chasing and Repousse: Methods Ancient and Modern’. The techniques of chasing and repoussé are traditionally used to embellish or add detail to the surface of a piece of hollowware or jewelry. Sheet metal, hollow-formed metal, flatware, and sculptures can all be chased (textured and refined from the front with steel tools called chasing tools and using a chasing hammer), and worked from the back with soft-faced steel tools, which is repoussé. Please join us for what is likely to be a fun and informative conversation with Megan.
