This month's EBSQ Live:
Chasing and Repousse` Uncovered: A Cursory Examination of Two Old Techniques
hosted by EBSQ Self-Representing Artists and Robin C. McGee
Monday, August 14, at 9pm Eastern (6pm Pacific)
EBSQ Chat Room
"Polynesian Island Pin" by Robin C. McGee
Chasing and Repousse` are two old traditional techniques for working metal. Chasing is the use of chisels and punches to form an image in the surface of a sheet of metal. The image may be flat or in low relief and is mostly a series of incised lines. The metal retains most if not all of its original contours. Repousse` uses similar tools to achieve a different effect. The metal itself is stretched and pushed into a three dimensional image, mostly high relief, sometimes fully in the round. EBSQ Live! will present "Chasing and Repousse` Uncovered, A Cursory Examination of Two Old Techniques" by Robin C. McGee. He will present a comparison and contrast of these ways of working, some of which he learned, some of which he discovered and some of which he just makes up to keep things interesting. Don't worry, those parts will be labeled. You've seen bits and pieces of it in the threads, now see it in some kind of organized form. At the very least, it should be fun.
Robin C. McGee has been a jeweler, metalsmith and artist for 28 years. He has been teaching at college level for 18 of those years. Repousse` and chasing are specialties among the techniques he teaches and uses for his art.
LIVE! is open to members and non-members and we encourage all who are interested to attend. The evening starts at promptly at 9 PM EST so be sure to arrive a few minutes early.

EBSQ Live! Procedures
You can join the chat through the EBSQ website by simply clicking
on the chat button on the community page of our site. Pick a nickname
and select "login."
When you enter the chat please be patient as things get started.
During Live! presentations please refrain from saying
"Hello" to everyone who enters or "Bye" to everyone
leaving early. Though that is nice in casual chat it is not conducive
to staying within the schedule and you can always stay to visit
for Coffee Talk after EBSQ Live! wraps up!
As the Live! session begins there will be a short time for any announcements
and an introduction of the first presenter. Each presentation has
10-15 minutes scheduled and a 10 minute question/answer period afterwards
before the next session starts. Resources and visual images may
be included in some of these mini-workshops for you to click on
to open them in your web browser. Questions and comments will be
taken in order and if you don't get yours in then please feel free
to ask after Live! concludes. If you like what you are seeing and
want to have a copy of the information, then keep an eye out for
the Session to be posted on the web for you to review later.
Are you new to chat? Don't worry! It is as simple as typing. However,
you are not required to actively participate during the Live! presentations
so sit back and soak in the information.
EBSQ Live! Rules of Conduct
This is our professional forum for real time exchange and all conduct
should reflect this standard. Any inappropriate or abusive behavior
will result in the immediate removal of the offending party from
the EBSQ Live! session and may even result in a permanent ban. This
is not debatable.
If you have an area of expertise
and are interested in submitting an idea for conducting a future
EBSQ Live! presentation then please contact Melissa Morton at edu@ebsqart.com
