The Magic of Metal: Blacksmithing, Welding and Sculpting
There is a magic about metal that can mesmerize those who appreciate it and energize those who work with it. Experience blasting through steel plates with a cutting torch to create fantastic shapes, or heating, twisting, hammering, and shaping hard metal rods or bars as if they were clay. The results can be useful and infinitely beautiful. The workshop focuses on the basics of cutting, forging, and welding metal. Students will learn through hands-on instruction, design talks, and show and tell sessions.
