A summer favorite returns with new projects and a return to some of our favorites. This week we are building a Design Engineer’s toolbox. How do you know which material to use? Delve into the intricacies of 5 types of materials:
- Metal
- Wood
- Glass
- Fiber
- Ceramic
In this week-long workshop, campers will learn about material properties and apply them in constructive ways.
Heat metal to its melting point and exciting things happen. Join us in the metal shop to cast a unique pendant.
Wood is a material that presents many challenges and opportunities. Learn to use a wood-turning lathe. Can you make durable bent-wood structures? Laminate thin sheets of wood to make intricate, complex bent-wood structures.
Glass is a hard and often sharp material. Heat it to the right temperature, and it becomes soft, pliable, or even fluid. Use glass shards to make fused glass panels. The glass shop requires a steady hand and a designer's eye. Create glass beads and fused glass tiles. We will have fun experimenting, too.
One thread helps us mend, join, or embroider. Bring many fibers together and create uniquely designed woven networks.
Enter the ceramics studio and create a cup for use at your dinner table. Campers will utilize our recently expanded ceramics studio to make high-fire stoneware dishes.
