This class is a metal art class located in Plympton, Massachusetts:

Tuesday evening, June 4th from 6 - 9 p.m. (give or take a half hour)

Cost: $125, includes materials and PPE

I will be able to take 6 students, with a minimum of 3 necessary to run the class. I will be in contact to let you know if the class will be run or not 24 hours prior, an option will be given to move to another art class given later in the year or a refund will be given if you choose not to.

For class we will be reviewing various metal working fundamentals to create a metal dragonfly. Finished student dragonflies will range in size (the student chooses how their dragonfly will look). For reference the class model piece is 7.5” long from head to tail. The student can choose to keep their dragonfly free as in the picture or it can be put on a stake to put in the ground.

This is a short class where the piece is pre-selected for you to create. It will not be as in-depth as some of the other classes offered are but will give you a small taste of creating a piece of metal art.

Important:

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early so we can start promptly at the designated time. The exact address will be sent to you via email, please be looking for it.

You will be provided with safety gear for the duration of class. If you have your own welding gear you are welcome to bring it to class to use instead of borrowing.

Wear work boots, a pair of jeans that you do not mind getting dirty, and a 100% cotton shirt (this is all for your safety and protection, if you are not dressed appropriately you will not be able to participate in the workshop)

If you have medium to long hair, bring a hair tie to pull your hair back or already have your hair tied back
