You are not going to believe how much fun you are going to have creating your own sculpture, jewelry, a box or whatever your heart desires. You will be using tools that you will recognize as usual every day tools. Plus you will create tools from miscellaneous objects that can be found at home. Release your imagination and creativity while you work with copper, brass, wire, scrap iron, and found objects. Bring children's goggles and work gloves and wear old clothes.
