Learn techniques such as sawing, hammering, riveting, and texturing and develop a deeper understanding of metal fabrication. Create extraordinary works of metal art with an emphasis on recycling and reuse of materials in the metalworking studio.

One-week camp sessions run from June 12 to August 25. Morning classes run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and afternoon classes run from 1 to 4 p.m. Kids can be dropped off for morning classes beginning at 8:30 a.m. and for afternoon classes beginning at 12:30 p.m.

Please note that, on account of the July 4th holiday, Week 4 is a three-day week. Classes that week are $85 for members and $95 for the general public. That week only, all-day extended day is $45 and afternoon extended day is $30.

  • Need a full-day solution? Enroll in a morning and afternoon class, and you can take advantage of our extended day program. Extended day allows your child to bring a packed lunch and stay at VisArts from 12 to 1 p.m. as well as from 4 to 5 p.m. Extended day programs can be purchased when you add an afternoon class to your online shopping cart.
