In this weekend class, Ryan guides students through the process of creating copper floral art. The workshop begins with sketching designs on paper, which are then transferred to sheets of copper. Students learn how to cut, texture, shape, and solder copper sheet and tube to bring their floral creations to life. Instruction also includes demonstrations on patina and heat-treating techniques, offering ways to add color and depth to the finished work. Alongside the technical training, Ryan shares insights from his 14 years as a professional artist, including stories from his career, project highlights, and details of his artistic decision-making process. By the end of the class, participants gain hands-on experience with copper fabrication techniques and complete a floral art piece that reflects their own design.
