The Day Overview:
Arrive for a 9:30 start at our studio forge, after a hot drink and getting to know the team and workshop you'll jump straight into getting to grips with your welders and equipment. the first half of the day you'll make a mini abstract sculpture from thick plate steel off cuts, then using heat and hammer apply texture, holes and bends to make you very own to make a simple modern tabletop sculpture. After lunch work with your tutor 1-2-1 to utilise scrap and disregarded old tools, part forge things we have in stores and scrap metal (bring your own old tools too if you want!) in a new way to create a second sculpture in your own style! weird and wild is welcome! The day will come to a close at 5 when your sculptures are finished and ready to take home! - there is of course a time and size limit but we do the best we can with the time and tools we have.
