FOUNDRYCasting metal is a 6,000-year-old process still used in both manufacturing and fine art. The founder melts metal in a crucible, pours the liquid metal into a mold and then removes the mold material or the casting once the metal has cooled and solidified. The most common metals used in fine art are aluminum, bronze and cast iron. In entry-level foundry classes, you will learn the chemistry and basic steps that go into making a piece of cast metal, while advanced classes further explore the intricacies of casting and metal finishing.

GLASSOur programs teach different methods for creating beautiful and functional objects with a focus on warm glass and coldworking. Among the most versatile of materials, glass can be worked directly in the flame of a torch; it can be fused or reshaped in a kiln; cast into molds; drilled, carved and cut cold; or put into a high-temperature glory hole, heated, blown, then formed with hand tools.

kINETICS & ELECTRONICSKinetic art contains moving parts and depends on motion or sound for its effect. The moving parts can be powered by wind, by a motor, by clockwork or manually. The possibilities of integrating movement and sound with artwork are endless - from wind-powered mobiles to motorized robots, art cars, flaming sculptures and more. Learn to add movement, sound and interactivity to your artwork in classes that explore and explain the physics of movement, electronics and mechanical components, microcontrollers and even flame effects. Take a project lab to practice and perfect your skills and make your wildest ideas a dynamic reality.

WELDINGJoining metal with heat is a fabrication process used since the Bronze Age, and new technology develops continually. The Crucible teaches classes in four types of welding: oxyacetylene gas, arc (or “stick”), metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. Start with a beginning class in one type of welding, or explore all four types in our Exploring welding class.
