About the Course:

This workshop is intended for beginners and intermediate metalsmiths. We will be going over basic techniques for creative direct metal processes including hot forging, mig welding, oxyacetylene torch work, and plasma cutting. The course is geared towards creativity and design aesthetics. Students will be creating functional and sculptural metal art including candelabras, tables, coat hangers, and “Sculptural Habitats In Terrains.”

My intent is to share the knowledge I have gained over the last 25 years to help students understand how to transcend their own creativity into physical reality via direct metal processes. The key is in seeing and allowing the Creator to create through us and knowing which metalworking processes are best suited for communicating that which we desire to bring into this reality.
