Rueger Fold

Description

Fold forming is a conceptual and physical approach to metal smithing where the natural metal characteristics are used to form hundreds of different and unique three dimensional forms.

In the following album I created all the fold forms using 0.5mm and 0.3mm copper sheets.....All of these forms can be translated into precious metals such as fine silver, sterling silver and gold.

All patinas are natural heat patinas formed during the annealing and cooling of the copper. Forged line folds are among the most interesting folds.

There are a number of ways to approach this fold each resulting in very different forms. A Rueger fold is an advanced form of a basic forged line fold that develops exciting shell like structures

These pictures are examples of a Rueger Fold. Please excuse the crappy photos :blush:
