CLASS DESCRIPTION

This workshop will focus on MIG welding, and a variety of sheet metal fabrication techniques for the purposes of making a small, steel box. We’ll discuss how to safely use a variety of tools to cut and form steel, look at examples of boxes and discuss making templates, and we’ll weld everything together with the MIG welders. To finish up, we’ll discuss patinas, and other finishes that can make our boxes uniquely our own.

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Sophie is a metalworker and furniture maker currently based in Reading, PA. She makes classic furniture designs recreated out of steel to give voice to women in both the woodworking and metal fields, and she utilizes steel in the making of her work to explicitly expand upon the materials that are considered to be part of the fine furniture making field.

Sophie received her MFA in Furniture Design and Woodworking from San Diego State University, and BFA in Sculpture and Drawing from SUNY Purchase College. She has exhibited her work across the country, including Blue Spiral 1 Gallery (NC), the Center for Art in Wood (PA), and the Metal Museum (TN), and has been fortunate to receive several grants, fellowships, and residencies to help advance her career, including the John D. Mineck Fellowship in 2022. Sophie currently teaches at Kutztown University, and has taught workshops at A Workshop of Our Own, Penland School of Craft, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, the Appalachian Center for Craft, and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts.
