Michelle is a talented artist and inspiring teacher. I learned so much in two hours and have so much more to learn! I learned to braze different metals of various thickness and created a sculpture with Michelle's techniques and guidance. I can't wait to take another course at her studio!
Have you ever wondered what it is like to light a torch, set a flame, run a bead? In this session you will learn to braze. You will create a small unique sculpture to take home.It can be used to display jewelry, or hold a candle. The options are endless.
We will discuss the many advantages of gas welding when setting up a shop, creating furniture, art, fabrication. etc.
What makes this Course unique is that it is taught by an artist who has experience teaching both sculptors and welders. She is a Part-time Associate Professor at Parsons School of Design, teaching Metal Fabrication. This class is an empowering experience for both beginners as well as people who have experienced welding in the past. The class is also unique because it will be "limited to 2 people" The Studio has a wall of open windows for excellent ventilation.
WHAT TO WEAR: Wear closed toe leather or suede shoes and cotton socks. Do not wear clothes you care about. Cotton jeans are best. Bring a long sleeved sweat shirt and wear a long sleeved cotton shirt. Welding gear and glovesare supplied and included with session. There is no fee for metal.

I often repurpose items or ideas from a community's past, into new art forms....
