Notes:

• Everything for all projects is supplied by the instructor, but working with sterling silver or similar upgrades will be extra (your choice).

• * The most successful students are those who have fabricated metal before. No knowledge will be assumed. Are you a beginner who is good with your hands and a fast learner? Give me a call and we'll talk about whether this class is for you. A certain amount of hand-strength is required in any metal fabricating you do .

• Completely unique and unavailable anywhere but at the Volcano Arts Studio.

What to Bring (optional):

• Journal or pad for notes

• Magnification (I have a few OptiVisors to loan out and we also sell them)

• If you have a respirator mask  bring it along (like painters use, available at hardware stores - filters should be for aerosol particulates). Although a respirator mask is highly recommended, don't feel that you need to buy one just for this class. I have lots of paper masks that you can use for the week.

• I have plenty of medium and large latex gloves. If you are allergic to latex or have extra large or extra small hands, please bring several pairs to use during the week.
