We are very pleased to share the results of the 2015 Lewton-Brain Foldform Competition with you! Results were announced on July 24, 2015 at the annual Foldform Awards Dinner at the Seligmann Center for the Arts. With special dinner guest Charles Lewton-Brain, the celebrated pioneer of foldforming, the evening ended with the first video screening of the 2015 competition winners.
Excerpt from Aug 5, 2015 Press Release:
Dan Lippitt of Madison, WI, U.S., won First Place with “Stovchen III,” a sterling silver tea warmer. Ira Sherman of Denver, CO, U.S. took Second Place for “The Hoshen,” a Torah Hoshen Breast Plate of sterling silver and semi-precious gemstones. Christina Brandewie of Cincinnati, OH, U.S., was awarded Third Place for a sterling silver and yellow gold “Honeycomb Bracelet.” Linda Leviton of Lewis Center, OH, U.S., received Honorable Mention for her large copper wall sculpture, “Animal Vegetable Mineral.” The jury also recognized 27 entries in the Jurors’ Choice round, a record high for the competition.
Now in its fourth year, the Lewton-Brain Foldform Competition invites metal artists everywhere to submit their work in a global competition designed to survey the evolving field of foldforming as a metal arts technique.
