Fold Forming – Curved Scoring & Folding Techniques

Designed for jewellers, silversmiths and contemporary metalworkers, this practical course teaches you how to transform flat sheet metal into expressive three-dimensional forms.

Fold forming is a highly efficient and sculptural metal forming process that allows dramatic volume and movement to emerge from a simple sheet of metal. By understanding how metal reacts to pressure, heat and folding along an indented line, you can create lightweight yet dynamic forms suitable for jewellery, vessels and sculptural work.

Through structured demonstrations and guided studio practice, you will gain confidence in shaping copper sheet using controlled curved scoring and folding techniques.
