The words 'beating' and 'brazing' might sound a bit violent, but they'll take on a softer meaning when you learn to sculpt with sheet copper. This four-day course at London Sculpture Workshop is the perfect beginners' introduction to working with this splendidly shiny and marvelously malleable material.

In this course

This course will look at the numerous ways of shaping, cutting, soldering and colouring sheet copper to create sculptural shapes in three dimensions. Taking advantage of the excellent metal working workshop at LSW this course will show you the possibilities of working sheet copper. What Will I Do…

Things to remember

At the beginning of each course/workshop your tutor will go over H&S protocols with the group.

It is essential to wear old clothes and strong footwear.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Great introduction to the material (sheet copper sculpture). Knowledgable and very enthusiastic teacher who show a willingness to impart his knowledge, expertise and experience to his students. I got all I wanted from the 4 days and came away knowing a lot more about the material and its sculptural possibilities. Highly recommended the course and tutor for anyone wanting to explore copper sculpture.

I know LSW well having done many courses here over the years and this is the first time I have been less than satisfied. On repeating this sheet copper course I did choose an ambitious project and was not disuaded at the outset by the new tutor. She was very skilled and helpful indeed but as one who is less well versed in the deployment of LSW's vast range of equipment her students progressed at a slower pace. LSW facilities are still good but I am now weary of a change of tutors.

This was a very useful course, I learned a lot and made a sculpture that I'm very happy with.
