This class is for any maker or artist that is looking to dive into the world of metal forming! Starting with metal spinning techniques that far pre-date the industrial revolution, students will learn the process of woodturning their form block on the lathe. Supporting a pre-cut disc of aluminum with the tailstock, students will use simple tools, a lubricant, and leverage to shape the metal disc to their form. On Sunday, participants will explore the pneumatic press to give metal any shape including a perfect sphere. Students will gain knowledge and hands-on experience in working with non-ferrous metal, annealing work hardened materials, and the patination process.
