PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Step 1
In the first two lessons we researched different design movements such as :
de Stijl,Bauhaus,Art deco and Art Nouveau.
Step 2
In the third week we received our piece of copper and started cutting it into shape using a junior hacksaw with our pieces of copper in the table clamps.
Step 3
We were shown how to drill holes using the pillar drill, hold the copper with a hand clamp and push the drill down onto the copper.
Step 4
We were told to file the rough edges using either : a rough file if you had a lot to take off or a normal file if you had little to take off.
Step 5
We were then told we needed to make the edges really smooth due to aesthetic purposes . We were told to make them smooth using wet-and dry-paper.
Step 6
we were given an option to either cold form it or not . I didn't do it
Step 7
We were then told to planish our work which is done by hammering our work. This makes our work stronger
Step 8
We then covered our work in stop-out-varnish to stop the acid eroding our work
Step 1
Firstly we had to measure our wrists using paper and then try to find the piece closest to your measurements
Step 2
We then started to file our work first by cross filling and then after a while start draw filing
Step 3
Using wet and dry paper we were told to make the edges smooth by going over it in a circular motion
Step 4
We were then told to cover our work in stopout varnish for when it was going to get acid etched.We were then told to paint both sides of the bangel.
Step 5
Were then told to etch out some designs on our bangles using ordinary compasses which had to be inspired by your chosen art movement , mine was de stijl
Step 6
They were then put in acid we were then told told to sand the bangel to remove the stopout varnish.
