This class is a prerequisite to all future classes. The Electroforming on Glass class introduces the student to the fundamentals of electroforming - Part One focuses on how to set up an electroforming tank and the rectifier. The project for this class is a glass bead. The material chosen for this class is glass because […]
Part two of the Electroforming on Glass class focuses on the Science of Electroforming. I discuss the chemistry associated with the process occurring in the electroforming tank and the physics associated with setting the rectifier. The objective of these lessons is to make the student comfortable with the processes. We cover cleaning and finishing electroformed […]

“Electroformed Organic Materials” Part 1 covers electroforming basic plant material, flowers, leaves, and pods; along with critters (a dead lizard), feathers, and shells. The class project will be whatever organic material you want to use — you will be providing your own dead lizard and other organic material. Part 1 takes the student as far […]
“Electroformed Organic Materials” Part 2, starts with the removal of our projects from the tank and continues with further processing so the material is useful in future projects. We finish the class with cleaning and finishing our electroformed components. Sign Up Here

The prerequisite for this class is Electroforming on Glass or previous experience and instructor consent. “Lasting Impressions” Part 1 is an exploratory class that covers ways to reproduce one-of-a-kind electroformed elements. Being able to reproduce electroformed creations or copying action figures opens the door to unique works of art. I have used cameos, parts of […]
