Experience the refined, sculptural possibilities of anticlastic raising in a focused three-day workshop taught by master goldsmith Jordan Barnett-Parker, longtime apprentice and ongoing collaborator of world-renowned designer Michael Good, the originator of this technique. Jordan brings a direct lineage of expertise and decades of hands-on knowledge, offering students a rare opportunity to learn authentic anticlastic methods—from foundational movements to advanced hollow forms—in an engaging, supportive, and creatively charged environment.

What You’ll Make

1. Hyperbolic Paraboloid Extension (Saddle Form) Begin with a square of 26g bronze as you learn to create tension-driven curves, control compression, and develop a feel for directional hammering..
2. Open Hollow Bangle (Closed Spiculum Form) Expand your skills by raising a hollow bangle bracelet that uses a closed spiculum shape—but with an unsoldered “open” seam that creates an elegant, airy profile. 
3.  Round Hollow Spiculum Earrings with Forged Tapered Wires The final challenge brings everything together: raising a closed round spiculum earring and hand-forging a tapered earring wire that springs perfectly back into the form.
4. This is a deeply rewarding project that showcases the true magic of anticlastic movement and precision forming.
5. Tools & Materials • Complete tool kits provided for class use, available for purchase afterward as a full set or à la carte. • Useful optional tools to bring: Cross peen hammers, planishing hammers, mandrels, Delrin hammers, small sinusoidal stakes, scribes. • Primary materials: 24g & 26g bronze sheet (students may bring silver or gold).
