In this creative, hands-on class, young makers will explore the exciting world of metal art and sculpture. Students will learn how to safely use a torch to cut playful, creative shapes from sheet metal, then hammer and form their pieces to add texture and dimension.

Each student will finish their project by brazing on a hook or hanger, turning their artwork into a finished piece ready to display at home. Along the way, we’ll cover shop safety, proper tool handling, and basic metalworking techniques in a supportive, instructor-led environment.

What you’ll learn:

• Basic shop safety and how to use tools responsibly

• How to safely use a torch to cut shapes from sheet metal

• Hammering and shaping techniques to add texture and form

• How brazing works and how to attach a hook or hanger

• How to turn raw metal into a finished piece of art

• Confidence using metalworking tools in a creative setting

This class is a great introduction to metal art for kids who enjoy working with their hands and trying something new. Beginners and intermediate beginners are welcome, and students will build confidence and skill as they move through each step of the process.
