Heat and Create | Term Two, 2024

Playing with fire is fun - right? Sure it can be dangerous, but done right it's also a great way to heat up those creative juices and make some wonderful, enduring pieces of art or practical items for daily use. Think ... bronze sculpture, wax models, kitchen knives, steel constructions. Processes such as mould making, sand casting, lost wax casting and forging are available here. Welding techniques are not taught in this class but students with prior experience and competence using welding equipment are welcome to use those facilities in this class. Suitable for all levels.
