Advanced – Mastering the Flame
• Short Introduction: The master tier of metal art, focusing on high-precision TIG welding, intense forge blacksmithing, moving kinetic engineering, and rich chemical patinations.
Artist Profile
Prerequisites
Description
• Topics Covered: TIG welding on non-ferrous metals (bronze/stainless); forge heating and anvil work; kinetic pivot and bearing design; applying hot chemical patinas.
• Course Objectives: To achieve seamless, museum-quality connections, painterly surface transformations, and fluid mechanical motion loops on exotic art metals.
• Learning Outcomes: Create pristine, non-porous TIG welds on bronze; forge hot steel into fluid, organic shapes; design a perfectly balanced kinetic sculpture; apply deep, archival chemical colorations.
• Tools & Materials: Silicon bronze rods; stainless steel sheets; TIG welding setups; gas blacksmithing forges; anvils; sealed ball bearings; chemical patina solutions.
Rules
• Rules: Use an active fume extraction system during all welding and patina baking; wear high-heat rated leather forge gloves; always treat dark metal as if it is scalding hot.
