We will learn how to make rivets of non-conventional materials and will use them in projects. We will also learn how to lash and tie, and use a variety of micro hardware, including screws, washers, nuts and tacks. We will spend time exploring different textures and forming techniques including fold forming, hammering, and drilling.

Every student’s work is unique to their tastes and abilities.
