Get an introduction to the science and process of induction heating
Design and create a piece with guidance from an experienced instructor
All materials and reference images will be provided

No experience needed—perfect for beginners
All tools, materials, and safety gear included
What to Bring:
Closed-toe shoes
Long pants (jeans or work pants; no leggings or synthetic fabrics)
A breathable, natural-fiber shirt (avoid synthetics, as the forge gets hot)
