The ancient art of chasing repoussé provides jewelry designers to form annealed sheet metal to create low reliefs. The possibilities are only limited by the artist's imagination.

In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy (OJA) provides viewers with a "quick start" project that will introduce them to the tools and processes related to chasing repoussé. The examples shown in this video display patination processes that are covered in other OJA videos.
