Fold forming is a relatively new method of metal working that synthesizes the Japanese art of origami with traditional techniques of metalsmithing. Hundreds of forms and shapes can be derived using just a rolling mill, a few hammers, a knife, an anvil, and a couple of stakes. The technique relies on skilled control of the hammer and the natural tendencies of the plasticity, ductility, and elasticity of the metal used. These featured pieces include a copper bracelet, fine silver earrings, and a copper pin set with a 10mm Akoya freshwater pearl.
