Listed are some of the opportunities for beginning and advanced students:

Bronze and aluminum casting, using the ceramic shell mold processes.

Fabrication in steel, using MIG and TIG welding, plasma cutting, and sheet metal forming.

A well-equipped woodshop for assemblage sculpture and other projects involving wood.
