If you have been to the farm before, things will be a little different. The wonderful studio is the same, but accommodations have changed. Everyone will be staying off site, and responsible to handle their own housing accommodations and lunch, as the main house and pub is under new ownership.
A non refundable $450 dollar deposit is required to save your seat, or you can pay in full. The remainder ($800) will be due before August 15th. If you have paid in full and cannot make it, please let me know as soon as possible. If I can fill your spot, I will refund $800. If I am unable to fill your spot, you will receive $800 in store credit that can be used on tools or future workshops. Cancellations in the last 30 days are non refundable.
5 day intensive chasing and repousse workshop Oct 2026
Come join us for this unique opportunity to learn or advance your skills in chasing and repoussé at beautiful Ayrshire Farm!
Chasing and repoussé is an ancient technique used to decorate sheet metal with the most lavish and intricate designs. In this 5 day hands on workshop, Saign will teach everything from different methods of transferring images, tool making, and pitch preparation, to proper ergonomics, chasing, repoussé, and creating relief with only chasing from the front.
You will not only go home with one or more completed projects, but also develop and hone the knowledge and skill to create beautiful pieces of art on your own. Experience is helpful, but not necessary.
Chasing tools, hammers and designs are provided by Saign, but you are welcome to bring your own if you own them, and please do so if they are made by Saign.
All students will be given a 20% off cupon code to use on any tool orders from the time of signing up, until 6 weeks following the workshop.
Please bring your own eye and ear protection, as well as pitch bowl, or pitch tray.
