Metal Flowers Workshop

Betsy Bower – Metal Flowers Workshop Students in this ART 321 workshop will join Betsy Bower in her shop and learn all the skills necessary for producing their own metal flower, which can be proudly displayed either indoors or outdoors. After hearing the basics of shop safety and signing a liability waiver, participants will use a plasma cutter and grinding tools, apply techniques for shaping their flower petals, learn some standard blacksmithing while hammering metal that will become a flower stem and weld the pieces together to complete a metal flower. The class is scheduled for Saturday & Sunday, February 17 & 18 and the cost is $115 for ART 321 members; $130 for non-members – plus a supply fee of $20 for each student. A list of what to wear and bring to the class can be obtained at ART 321.
