Basic Copper Tooling Demo: Embossing on Metal Step by Step for Beginners

[@thetrillianaire]

love these tutorials so much! I watch all of them even if it's about something totally different from the art I do. Prof Lieu always asks great questions and the artists she chooses to lead the tutorials are always great picks.

An excellent video. Great details from the questions and answers. Thank you. Just wondering how to get patina of other colors instead of blackish.

[@artprof]

Thanks, glad you liked the video! I'm sure there must be many other patinas that can be used on copper!

What gauge copper do you work with and how do you keep the design from being ruined when you wear it

[@artprof]

This gauge we are using is very thin, so it's not great for long term wear. I'm not a jeweler, but I bet there is info online you can find! -Prof Lieu

Thanks for the vid! don't you use any varnish?

[@artprof]

Just the patina using the liver of sulphuric, a varnish isn’t necessary!

[@toericabaker]

looks easily bent and for that reason impractical :(

[@artprof]

I actually found out after we shot this that they do make a version of ArtEmboss that is thicker and more durable. -Prof Lieu
