Custom Garden Furnishings

Learn to fabricate a small garden gate, build an artisan garden chair incorporating blacksmithed elements, create wrought iron garden edge fencing, a decorative column or a welded bistro table. These are just a few of the possibilities for student projects in this four night class. Students are encouraged to bring reference pictures or sketches to the first class. The instructor will also bring many pictures for inspiration, and work with students on their project ideas, simplifying where necessary so that each student’s chosen project can be completed during the course. Prerequisite: Welding–Beginning Ornamental Steel.   $240 Class Fee and $200 Materials Fee.
