Class Description

Are you wanting to add more uplifting, fun, and inspired creativity to your life?

Are you ready to set your inner artist free?

No more serious designing!

Set your spirit free, and have a good laugh at yourself!

Join nationally acclaimed irreverent artist Nancy Anderson to set your soul free, learn many metal smithing techniques including, but not limited to “collage” in metals.

We will be learning many techniques to adhere your layers on what I call “the art of Attachment.”

In this goofy, but profound workshop we will be experimenting with the art of scrap salvage, juxtaposing found objects with your inner artist to come out and PLAY!
