Drawing to Sculpture in the Metalshop @The Foundry
Wednesday 29th Jan, 2020
Draw in three-dimensions using metal rod as line -- create a sketch in steel. Learn basic metalshop skills as you transform your 2D work on paper into a 3D shape. In a small group, make an object that can be displayed either as a garden sculpture or stunning indoor piece. Animals, geometric designs, personal totems, classic icons can all transition from the page to the pedestal (or to the wall) as you learn to cut and weld.
You'll learn about:
The process of transforming a drawing into sculpture
Cutting and measuring metal to size
Forming curves in rod
Preparing cut metal for welding
Using a MIG welder
Safely operating a grinder or wire brush to finish your work.
