Foldforming Resources for Artists ​​and Art Lovers

Home of the annual Lewton-Brain Foldform Competition

DID YOU KNOW? Since 2012, 100% of entry fees for the Lewton-Brain Foldform Competition have gone back into the event and into maintaining all the rich content at www.foldforming.org.  It's a great project, but we need your help! Let's get together and shine a light on metal artists across the globe! Please help spread the word. Everything you need is on our Press page! -- Sue Lacy, Director

Diverse Applications in Foldforming - see the diversity of work made possible by foldforming techniques.
​
Foldforming techniques are used today by metal artists in jewelry, sculpture, architecture, décor, lighting, tableware, and more-- with styles that are rustic or refined, bold or subtle, small scale or very large. The results are often fantastically reminiscent of shapes found in nature. For more examples, view competition gallery pages.
