I took part in a workshop last summer taught by Charles Lewton-Brain on how to do fold forming using copper. He's from Canada and is amazing with what he is able to do with metal forming it into different shapes using just a hammer, a vice and his bare hands. Fold Forming is a little hard to explain, but basically it involves folding and unfolding the metal which creases the copper into various shapes. So being inspired by this workshop, I created some obsidian wind chimes out of fold formed copper. Copper is a wonderful material to work with because it's so forgiving and malleable. The leaf wind chime is an older one but I like the look so I included it in the set of photos. If you want to hear what the wind chimes sound like, go to one of my earlier posts where there are a couple of videos.

If this proves untrue, at least my home will be aesthetically enhanced.
