The Steel Yard has prepared a spring course scheduled filled with engaging and informative hands-on classes. Explore all the possibilities waiting for you in our studio; you could weld a robot, slip cast a thousand rubber duckies, or throw a sufficient amount of ceramic plates to feed an army.
This spring the Steel Yard is offering classes in blacksmithing, ceramics, iron casting, jewelry, and welding. Courses offered are a mix of entry-level opportunities for the inexperienced maker as well as classes that focus on advanced techniques for the seasoned artisan. Courses are taught by knowledgeable and talented instructors, and class sizes are kept small to provide the best possible experience for those enrolled.
Students will be able to forge their own tools in Tool Making 101, cast molten iron to produce unique objects in Iron Cast Sculpture, or make family heirlooms in Introduction to Jewelry Making. Ceramics classes include: Slip Casting, Wheel Generate Form, Handbuilding or Ceramics II. For metalworking: Introduction to Welding, Weekend Welding Workshop and Welding II. If making jewelry is what appeals to you, then try our Ring Workshop, Wire and Chains, Wax Casting, or our Guided Open Studio.
Spring courses start mid-March. More info about registration and enrollment here.
