Mokume gane workshops and custom metalwork by Anne Wolf. 

Featured Workshop

Chisel Patterning Mokume Gane
September 25-27, 2025 at Metalwerx Boston
Tuition - $695
Kit fee - $150 payable at workshop

Mokume Gane is an ancient Japanese technique that uses fused layers of different metals to form unique organic patterns. This class starts at the patterning stage; we’ll dive into chiseling, which is the most traditional way of patterning mokume gane. Students will secure their work in pitch or use lower cost alternatives, and then learn to properly use, sharpen, and even make their own chisels. Patterns can be abstract or representational and informed by the student's own aesthetic; the design possibilities are endless. On the last day students can make their own chisel and/or focus on turning their patterned mokume into simple finished jewelry. This workshop is a great follow on for those who have taken previous mokume gane classes, but it is also open to those new to mokume gane. Participants can expect to create multiple patterned samples and/or finished jewelry depending on their interests and experience level. Detailed handouts including step-by-steps and equipment sources will be provided. Experience annealing and soldering silver is recommended.

Spring in Seattle

My recent spring teaching trip to Seattle split itself into three distinct parts: my two day chisel-patterning class, my three day 'fabricate & patinate' class, and the bittersweet and mind-blowing experience of seeing Phillip Baldwin's studio and meeting his wonderful wife Layne Goldsmith.
As usual, Dana's studio was a delight, and also amazing to see her new gallery just three doors down! The food choices around the studio have only gotten better (five stars for the new taco joint across the street, and that's a San Diegan saying that).
First, my two-day chisel patterning class got off to a star-studded start with a personal appearance by metalsmith Bill Dawson .... read more and see all the pics
