Learn to Flame Paint Copper

Taught by Skip and Racheal Mathews

During this workshop each student will learn the basic techniques and procedures for creating shapes, patterns and colors on copper with a torch. You’ll also learn the best ways to get seal and keep the best colors. Students will learn to develop skills in controlling the shape of the flame and the amount of heat of the flame in order to draw your shapes and patterns on the copper pieces you’ve created. Then you will begin learning to anticipate the color order and layer the colors into the shapes you drew.

During the course you will complete several flame colored projects. You can purchase the procedures manual before class. It includes an equipment list that will enable you to find the items you need to set up your own home studio. This class will give you a good start on the skills you need to get the results you want in this wonderful medium.

This process is exciting to learn. All the colors are harmonious and quite beautiful, but this is not an easy art form to control. It usually takes about one year of practice to begin getting consistent patterns and the colors. Practice will determine your reaching the desired effect. Skip and Rachel are happy to consult with students as they continue on learning the art of copper flame painting.

Cost of class - $674       Registration Fee - $64 due when you sign up here; Class Fee $550 and materials fee $60 due directly to Skip and Racheal at the beginning of class.
