Metal-smithing, an art of the masters, is presented in an innovative and non-intimidating way making it so you'll never look at metal the same again.

Not your typical metal-smithing class, it is designed to show you how to take readily accessible materials and tools to create totally original pieces.

Whether you like bright and shiny or aged and earthy, you will love learning to cast your own metal components from your favorite found objects (you'll be amazed at how simple it is!).

You will also learn how to fabricate sealed metal boxes and shrines to showcase your smaller works of art or to fill with resin, plaster or found objects to incorporate into book arts, assemblage, jewelry and more!

Other techniques will be presented including soldering sheet to sheet, creating super simple shrine forms, and free-hand metal etching.

All this will be taught using basic tools in a way that you can easily transfer to your own work space. Sheet brass for box building will be provided by the instructor as well as flux, propane torches, heat safe surfaces and more. Junk Drawer Metalsmithing with Stephanie Lee
