His work has been recognized by the British Museum Research Lab, by a 1991 Rolex award, and in 2012 he was the recipient of the prestigious Governor General Award for his contribution to Canadian arts. Master goldsmith Charles Lewton-Brain is Head of the Jewellery/Metals Program at the Alberta College of Art and Design. He is a world-renowned author, educator, artist, and has pioneered the innovative suite of metal techniques known as foldforming. He is the author of Foldforming, the definitive book on the topic. Foldforming can create rapid changes of dimension, and can readily construct pieces that appear to be chased or repousséd. “It is addictive,” jewelers and small metals artists say about the origami-like folding and forming of copper, silver, iron and other materials.
