Metal Outdoor Forms at Ox Bow

Participants will learn basic metal fabrication processes while designing and creating a small steel work intended for an outdoor setting. Techniques demonstrated will include simple design planning, cutting, joining, and finishing methods, with discussion of materials, structure, utility, and aesthetics throughout. The workshop will begin with an overview of the Metals Studio and safety guidelines, followed by hands-on making using either personal steel or studio scrap.

Plan to bring: a sketchbook and drawing utensil, cotton long-sleeved shirt and pants, closed-toe shoes, and a tie for long hair.
