In this engaging camp, participants will embark on a comprehensive journey through the world of metalwork, with a focus on mastering techniques such as cutting, bending, and shaping cold metal, highlighted by welding activities in the Hot Shop. They will gain hands-on experience with a broad array of equipment and tools, allowing them to design and execute their own metal creations. The program covers essential skills in using MIG welding, plasma cutting, and various metal preparation tools, including finger brakes, sheet metal rollers, angle grinders, files, metalworking hammers and anvils, and precision measuring instruments. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, campers will turn their visions into reality, crafting both functional and artistic metal pieces.
Adding to the excitement, this camp offers two distinct metalwork themes: "Critters and Birds" and "Metal Roses and Wind Chimes Designs". In the "Critters and Birds" theme, participants will use upcycled silverware to forge unique metal sculptures, pushing the bounds of creativity by assembling critters from scraps, bolts, and hardware, all spawned from their imagination. This theme emphasizes the beauty and innovation of creating art from recycled materials, encouraging campers to see the potential in everyday objects.
For those interested in further exploring the artistic possibilities of metalwork, the "Metal Roses and Wind Chimes Designs" theme provides an opportunity to craft sophisticated projects, such as long-stemmed metal roses and distinctive metal wind chimes. This theme is perfect for campers looking to refine their welding and sculpting skills, producing elegant pieces that demonstrate both technique and creativity.
Campers are encouraged to participate in both themes to fully immerse themselves in the versatility and richness of metal art, learning to appreciate its utility in making functional items like lanterns, pot holders, and hinged boxes, as well as its capacity for creating breathtaking sculptures, ornaments, and other decorative elements.
