About
This skills-based class teaches you how to texture sheet metal using the rolling mill. By putting metal through the rolling mill with a texturing material, such as a paper or steel texture plate, you press the design into the metal.
Texturing makes the surface of copper, brass, or silver sheet more interesting because the variations in depth catch the light differently. It also can enhance the design of your project by conveying a theme, such as flowing water, wood grain, or patterned fabric.
Details
Skill Level: Beginning to intermediate.
