Chasing & Repousse Supplies
Repoussee (or repoussage) is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side. Chasing is is the opposite technique to repousse, and the two are used in conjunction to create a finished piece. It is also commonly known as embossing.

Warning: One 2 kilo loaf of pitch will not fill this pitch bowl full. It will be shy a 1/4 inch or so. You will need to either buy a second 2 kilo loaf  or splash a little "quick concrete" in the bottom of your bowl first. If you do this, you will have enough and may even have some extra.

Red German Pitch
!

Pitch is used for chasing and repousse. We prefer the red German pitch over other pitches. It isn't brittle and is very forgiving. It is far less toxic and easier to use than black pitch and yields better results. Red German pitch provides excellent results. You don't have to burn it off. It is harder than the Black German pitch and comes in 2 kg. breadpan containers and is easy to remove. It is perfect for chasing small scale designs on copper, silver or gold. It provides firm support for the metal during chasing, and yet it is soft enough to allow embossing a shallow relief using the repoussé technique.
