Copper Spinning

by John Akkus

Metal shavings fly as John uses a metal spinning lathe to shape and stretch the metal into functional forms. He then etches intricate designs into the copper and brass jewelry, decorative plates and vases, candle holders, keepsake boxes, and ornaments.

Wheel-thrown Pottery

by Alan Burslem

Alan creates oversized pots and vessels that tower over his potter’s wheel. His style ranges from classic to eclectic, creating work with traditional hand-painted details to abstract splatters of colored glazes to create a kaleidoscope effect.

Mobile Sulpting

by Bud Scheffel

Bud’s kinetic metal sculptures are alive with motion, as they endlessly oscillate in the air. Bud will show visitors how he begins with a single sheet of metal, cutting and sculpting it to create a focal point. He then explains step by step as you watch how he builds a finished working mobile.
