Spheres, Cones, and Cubes Oh My!
Instructor: Stacey Webber
 

In this three day workshop you will be taking on the challenge of making 1”-3” hollow constructions out of 18 gauge copper sheet. You will choose to make a sphere, cone, or cube that you will deck or make two sides which fit into each other. You will conclude by finishing the surface and presto!-you have a beautiful, delicate container. We will be practicing advanced soldering methods, scoring and bending sheet metal, dapping, forming, sanding and finishing.

Stacey Lee Webber's artwork makes simplistic alterations in an obsessive, repetitive motion- sparking objects that speak of work ethic, time and beauty.  By focusing rhythmic actions on traditional jeweler’s techniques, her sculptures are bonded to the history of metals while existing as contemporary sculpture.

Currently, Stacey is Metals Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. During 2009, she was recognized by the American Craft Council/Baltimore as an Emerging Artist and was a Resident at the Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago.  Stacey earned her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
