After taking the winter off, we’re back with our regular monthly metal sculpture courses. David Mayne (Billy) and I run the courses at Sculpture Lounge in our workshops, with a maximum of 4 students so you get use of your own welder and more than your fair share of our guidance and supervision. It was just about warm enough to run course number 61, but with extra layers and sitting round the fire at dinnertime we managed. David lives locally and just fancied having a go at something different to his usual woodworking so he made a small figure and a wall piece made from cutlery. Andy was bought a place on the course by his wife and he came armed with an image he’d found which he really wanted to turn into a garden sculpture. Julian, a keen cyclist came armed with loads of bike bits, wanting to make a hedgehog and a vase which he easily managed. Finally we had Mike who’d never welded before but came armed with loads of stainless steel scrap which he thought would make a great centrepiece for his garden. Needless to say he didn’t quite finish but being a mate of Billys he can come back next week. Most of the courses are fully booked for the whole year despite slotting an extra couple of courses in but we do have 3 places left so if you fancy having a go get in touch asap.
