One-Day Workshop: Saturday, June 1
Course Description: A brief taste of oxy-acetylene welding and cutting. Familiarize yourself with the tanks, practice your welds, and cut metal with a torch. Oxy-fuel is one of the oldest welding processes, though in recent years it has become less popular in industrial applications. However, it is still widely used for welding pipes and tubes, as well as repair work. It is also frequently well-suited, and favored, for fabricating some types of metal-based artwork.
The MFA is delighted to present programming with Stonybrook Fine Arts. Founded by MFA instructor Morris Norvin, Stonybrook Fine Arts is a sculpture studio and foundry located in Jamaica Plain featuring small classes in a variety of media.
