About the event
Do you have an old anvil on your hands that you've been meaning to pretty up? Drop by for a demo led by local metalsmith Ingrid Valou on anvil dressing and mounting at the metal art studio at Malaspina's 1265 Howe Street site. This in-person social is a great opportunity to learn more about the metal arts stream of Malaspina’s Printermedia Artist Residency program, which VMAA is supporting through jurying, equipment acquisition, and collaborative programming.
What we'll be doing:
- Assessing the anvil
- Dress the stump (to iron bar or not to iron bar?)
- Notes on safety when grinding and working with steel
- Stripping the paint
- Any additional modifications
- Polish/finish anvil surface
- Mount the anvil
- Admire our handiwork
Join us if you are:
- Curious about the process of dressing an anvil
- Interested in participating in future cohorts of the Printermedia Artist Residency Program
- Just want to join other metalsmiths for a day of casual shop talk
- Interested in getting involved with the Vancouver Metal Arts Association in any way
More details to come!
