Pressed in Brass Cuff 6/19/26 @9:30am
The Pressed Cuff Experience - Metal Under Pressure

This process allows for deep, consistent patterns that are difficult to achieve by hand. Use a high-pressure hydraulic press to experiment with texture plates, organic materials, and pattern transfers, and achieve deep, crisp impressions with minimal distortion Students will design, press, form, and finish their own cuff, resulting in a striking, gallery-quality piece.
