Fold forming is a creative and dynamic way to manipulate metal.
This practical guide explains the process, starting with simple
line folds and showing how a few techniques can reveal the rich
potential of the method. Written for jewellers and metalsmiths, it
goes on to explore the many beautiful ways in which fold forming
can be used to distort and shape metal to incredible effect. It
introduces the concept of fold forming by exploring different
methods and types of single folds; it covers how to create multiple
folds in sheet metal using hammers and then the rolling mill to
forge folds; it explains how microfolding is particularly suited to
jewellery and smallwork, and can be used to strengthen thin
material. Finally, it encourages interpretation, experimentation
and development of the techniques to produce original pieces.
