Working Metal

Open to Design & Production Programs students
only.

Our history has been marked by it and wars have
been won and lost based on who could use it and
neither of these topics will be covered in this
course. Most of us see metal as either a finished
piece or as a raw material but how do we get from
A to B? This course offers the technical training
to allow students to turn raw material into a
finished project. Through labs and lectures
students will be shown how to use both basic and
advanced hand-tools and machinery to create forms
and structures whose uses can be for both
practical and purely aesthetic. Topics may
include metal forming (both cold and hot), basic
blacksmithing, jig and pattern design and basic
metal fixture design.

There may be additional fees associated with this
course for supplies, books, or other materials.
For more specific costs please view the syllabus
or speak with the instructor.
