Description
This is a description of copper sheets, metal foil sheets, and the different sizes available. Copper sheets are anodized aluminum or pure copper, and are used for tooling and embossing. They are very soft and can be easily cut with scissors and drawn on with a pen. They are also very malleable, which allows for detailed engraving and repoussage techniques. The different sizes available are 10x15cm, 15x30cm, 30x30cm.
Metal Foil Sheets for Embossing and Tooling
Thin sheets of copper anodized aluminium (one side copper / one side silver) or pure copper (a medium-heavy foil, 6-7 times thicker than household foil) are a traditional thin sheet metal for tooling and embossing. This pure, soft metal takes high detail from tools, easily cuts with a scissors & can be drawn on, embossed or stamped to create raised designs. This great malleability allows you to easily get bas-relief depictions using the repoussage techniques of embossing and engraving. The copper/aluminium sheets come in sizes 10x15cm, 15x30cm, 30x30cm. The pure copper sheets come in sizes: 10x15cm, 20x30cm, 30x40cm.
