Advanced Electroforming (working with organics)

Ready to go beyond crystals and stones? This course covers the art of electroforming organic materials — the techniques that turn natural objects into permanent copper sculptures. You will learn how to plate tree branches, bark, bone, antler, feathers, and delicate plants. Each material has its own challenges, and this course walks through them all with real project examples. What you will learn: - Plating tree branches and bark (fully and partially) - Electroforming feathers, bone, and antler - Combining multiple elements into a single piece - Mixing conductive paint and conductive dip formulas specific to organics - Sealing stones and crystals for mixed-media work - Working with delicate dried plants and leaves - A low-acid, high-detail electroforming formula designed for organics Includes recipes, shopping lists, and step-by-step project examples like the Crown of Sorrow series.
