Directed Studio Practice
The class will work towards building a solid foundation in metal forming processes by focusing on bracelets/cuffs or forming a bowl/vessel. Fold forming and finishing techniques will also be covered. Other forming processes will be explained and demoed based on the students' needs. This will be a process- and technique-driven class where students will gain a greater understanding for how to control the direction and movement of metal. Students will bring their ideas and with the help of the instructor they will work towards realizing their vision.
**No Class: April 22nd - school vacation week**
Please be advised: we typically close registration for our on-site classes the Tuesday of the week before the class start-date.
