The Poetics of Steel with Stephen
Yusko
During this workshop, the emphasis will be on the exploration of form, line,
and surface while working primarily with forged and fabricated steel. Through
discussions about design, function, and demonstrations of techniques we will
create objects that balance the industrial history of the material with a
gracefulness of form. Along with forging solid bar stock and tubing/pipe,
participants will learn how to create pattern and texture on sheet/plate.
Whether your preference is heat-and-beat or finessed-finishes, we will work
towards the goal of achieving beauty and grace in what we make. All levels
welcome.
Stephen
