Virtually every culture with a history of metalsmithing has demonstrated accomplished work in the complementary techniques of chasing and repoussé. From delicate
Hellenic earrings to works as massive as the Statue of Liberty, the use of hammers and punches to form and ornament metal remains as vibrant today as it has in its
5,000 year history. This lavishly illustrated book provides first-time artists with enough information to get started, but also offers advanced workers insights into design and process. Almost 500 photos and drawings guarantee not only clear instruction but bounteous inspiration. Published by Brynmorgen Press.

8 x 10-¾ inches. 184 pages, full color, hard cover, dust jacket. $35.00

READ THE REVIEW OF Chasing and Repoussé from
Art Jewelry Magazine (page 21,"From the bookshelf")

"The latest book from Bynmorgen Press is a true treasure, packed with valuable instruction from a highly respected and incredibly knowledgeable source, and overflowing with images that are sure to keep you turning pages with delight. Nancy Mēgan Corwin is a master of both her metals craft and of teaching; there's enough here to introduce beginners yet satisfy advanced students. The photography throughout is consistently superb, from the clearly understandable instructional photos to the glossy gallery images that provide inspiration.
The only drawback to Chasing and Repoussé is the time you'll spend trying to decide whether this book should live in your workroom or on your coffee table."
