Since its launch in 2012, the Lewton-Brain Foldform Competition has attracted entries from metal artists in nineteen countries and across the United States. The event resumes after a two year hiatus in response to demand by artists and art lovers. The 2021 jurors are Professor Charles Lewton-Brain, Artist Goldsmith, Educator, Foldforming Pioneer; Merle White, Editor-in-Chief, Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist magazine; Tim McCreight, Metalsmith, Designer, Author, and Publisher at Brynmorgen Press.
Pepetools joins the 2021 event as its primary sponsor, and will provide prizes to 1st Place, 2nd Place, 3rd Place, Honorable Mention, and Innovation Award winners.

Each year the jury also recognizes notable entries in a Jurors' Choice round; these are widely publicized as well.
What is Foldforming?
Foldforming is derived from metal's plasticity and its natural, predictable response to actions like folding, forging, bending, compressing, or work hardening. The resulting dimensional forms are often fantastically reminiscent of shapes found in nature — and that's not a coincidence, says foldforming pioneer Charles Lewton-Brain.

"Many shapes look like natural shapes for the same reasons the ones in nature do: The material is operating right at the limits of its working abilities, and therefore the rules show up. If it looks like a ram's horn or a flower, it's because that's what's happening in nature."
