Welded Sculpture with Found Materials

Workshop | Registration opens 12/2/2025 10:00 AM CST

Create abstract metal sculptures using reclaimed steel along with found objects. A focus on the design process that Joe calls spontaneous design will be introduced, encouraging you to incorporate balance and negative space in your sculpture. You will use cutting, welding, drilling, grinding, and some forge and anvil work to shape the steel for the sculpture.

Due to the generosity and support of the instructor, Joe Malesky, all proceeds from this special workshop will go toward ESSA's capital fund.

  • All materials included.
