Rainbows in Reactive Metals: Anodizing the Reactive Metals with Bill Seeley at Whaley Studios

Oct. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- About the workshop:

This class will explore the attributes of the reactive metals titanium and niobium. Our work will center on the surface embellishment of niobium. This ductile and easily manipulated metal is highly anodizable.

Working from color charts developed in class to highly textured and colored samples the class will progress through a series of demonstrations and slide lectures. Coverage will include: safety, anodizing, masking, selective removal, and graphics. The history and development of the instructor and Reactive Metals Studio is presented in slides along with the work of a broad range of artists.

The participants will be encouraged to produce materials for later use in finished jewelry. The metals kit will provide a range of sheet and wire products for exploration. Anodizers, masking supplies and other materials will be provided. The days will go by quickly with lots of work and occasional demonstrations
