Metalworking (Ages 12 – 14)

Youth After School | Available

Try working with metal and traditional metalworking tools. We’ll explore different ways to cut metal safely and bend it accurately, then we’ll try texturing, hammering and stamping. Students ages 9-11 will focus on cold connection (learning to drill, rivet, and friction fit), then they’ll create and fasten their own metal designs. Students ages 12-14 will also have the opportunity to light the acetylene torch and use it to soften or anneal and or solder. Learn the skills, tools and techniques to create individual sculptural works of your own.


  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
