NATURE WEEK – Making Steel Organic w/ Margaret Jacobs

All Levels $115-$155 Materials and Studio Fees*

This workshop will explore how metal can be transformed to reflect the natural world through a combination of basic blacksmithing and metal fabrication techniques. There will be an emphasis on working the material through the use of heat – in particular, the oxy-acetylene torch – to create organic movement. We will discuss nature as inspiration, the process of designing for fabrication, and finished surface treatments to complete your final sculpture. All skill levels are welcome, prior blacksmithing or metal fabrication experience will be beneficial.

*Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
