The Embossing Process:
Repoussé or repoussage, (French) meaning pushed-up, describes an ancient metalworking technique. Hammering or pushing up with special tools ornaments a malleable metal from the back.
Chasing, the opposite technique, pushes down or indents from the top. This is a back and forth process. Antiquing medium, polishing and lacquer coating preserve and highlight this ornamental art.
Bobbi Mastrangelo, “The Grate Artist,” is internationally known for her unique creations based on grates, manhole and water covers. She is listed in The Marquis’ Who’s Who in American Art. Prominent Collections are in NY Water Districts, Heckscher Museum, Islip Art Museum and The Jane Voorhees Art Museum at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
