IRON – SUMMER SESSION 4
JUNE 29-July 11, 2025 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Shingo Furukawa
Move It!

This workshop will be an introduction to kinetic sculpture. We’ll cover the principles of mechanical movements using simple components to create sculptures that move. We will cover some metalworking fundamentals, including fabrication and welding, but this will not be a technique-focused workshop. Instead we will explore movement as a tool to communicate ideas. Absolutely for all levels. 

Tinkerer, sometime artist, full-time studio technician (and occasional lecturer) at the College of Visual and Performing Arts at University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth.
