Tableware: Tools for the Table
This workshop will explore the design and fabrication of serving pieces and utensils. Demonstrations will explore structural integrity and construction, as well as the basics of metal fabricating, studio tricks, cold-connections, die-forming, simple forging, raising, and finishing. Students will be asked to keep a sketchbook and make test models and prototypes. They will create their own flatware or implements which will be critiqued during vibrant class discussions. This workshop will focus on nonferrous metal (silver/brass/copper) as well as incorporating recycled materials. Tableware is a theme shared by both metals studios in this session designed for synergy and interactivity. All levels. Upper metals studio.
Note: this workshop takes place in a studio with stairs that compromise access. It is made partially accessible by a stair lift.
