This eight-week program employs 12 students, ages 16-18, to work and study under professional artists for 30 hours a week, at a minimum wage. The program is designed to expose students to a variety of processes and techniques in a hands-on, individualized environment. The teachers in the apprenticeship program are all professional artists working in cast iron and/or fabricated steel. These intructors integrate ideas about form, design, and materials into a series of projects that teach the apprentices the processes used to cast, weld, and forge metal art. The casting processes include; patternmaking, moldmaking, casting, and finishing. Students are also introduced to welding and forging and may choose one of those areas for concentration. Students will end the summer with a final project and exhibition of their work, made during the program.
