Did someone say… METALS ❌ CERAMICS??

Recently, Sarah Tector and DB taught a tool making workshop here at the Crafts Center that combined both metals and ceramics. Students got to create their own metal ribs and punches. They also learned techniques to fabricate tools using sheet metal and tubing. Later, they got to put their tools to work in the ceramics studio! How cool!!!!

Don’t miss out on workshops like this! Check out our website for upcoming fall classes & workshops 👀👀
