Metal

The Metal Workshop focuses on a material, usually steel, rather than a specific technique. You might even say it is a place dedicated to the art of working with steel - a versatile material that can morph into a myriad of forms. Working with steel involves a broad spectrum of techniques, including cutting, bending and joining. Through the skilled use of grinding and forging, steel can be made into virtually any desried shape. Our workshop has a wide range of machines and tools, from which you can take technical instruction and courses.
