We watch out for each other. For community, for sharing, for fun and enjoyment together. Foundry work requires team work . As a social animal you are not likely to hear stories in our old age of people who reflect back telling you that what mattered was material wealth. No, We reflect back on memories of great times connecting with others. Of fun activities and the lessons learned and passed on. The narratives that matter in that moment will be our stories.
Action follows inspiration
Competence is built one skill at a time. When we enter into the mysterious and ancient world of Metal art casting we touch on a process over 5000 years old.
The very first thing to learn is: What is the order of that world? What are the specialty tools we use here? How is the process done? At SFA we have decades of experience and advice to overwhelm you three times over so bring a note pad and study the googles and tubes to see how other people do it different.
Safety Third !
JUST KIDDING! getting hurt is neither a reflection of fun in community or a award winning expression of competence. The inherent dangers of molten metal are real and of course we take it serious when in action. If you decide you want to go past making the art and even want to do the metal part. We will put you through several steps of patterned actions choreographed and always done the exact same way every time.
