SUMMARY:Drop-in Metalsmithing
DESCRIPTION:Drop into the Metals Studio for a three-hour session to work on your class projects or individually driven artworks. One of our expert metals artists will be monitoring the studio to offer advice and direction towards completing your artwork. \nEach three-hour session provides an opportunity to develop and refine your skills in an independently focused work environment. \nThis session is intended for students who are currently enrolled in a metals class or have taken an eight-week metals class at the Windgate Art School. \nSupplies are not included. Students must bring their own materials or purchase materials from the AMFA Museum Store. \n\nThe Windgate Art School is generously supported by the Windgate Foundation with additional support from Sherry Worthen in memory of George Worthen. \nThe Windgate Art School’s Reduced Tuition Program is supported by Michael Laughter. Reduced tuition is automatically applied to all classes through 2026. \nImage courtesy of Jason Masters.
