Workshops and Lectures

In an increasingly fragmented and high-tech world, access to tools, materials, and experience have never been more scarce or precious. If you have a creative itch, craft-curiosity, or anything in between, I may be able to help.

My studio is the product of nearly 30 years of accumulated tools, materials and techniques. As such, it is difficult to offer classes with such broad ambitions as “how to make things”. Thus, my workshops are each custom tailored to the individual student(s). If you would like to come and learn, send me a message describing your ambitions and together we can come up with activities best suited to your needs.

Some examples

What we can work on

  • Basic welding techniques
  • Introduction to manual Mill and Lathe
  • Basic electronic engineering for art
  • Principles of kinetic art and machines
  • I have this cool old thing that I want to make art from
  • I already have art, but I want it to do something cool
  • I want to spend a day asking you questions and looking at all your stuff
What it costs

Workshops start at $500 per person, per 5-hour day for up to 4 people at a time. Multiple day sessions may be required for more complex subjects. Material fees may apply.

Lectures & studio visits

Or I can come to you.

If traveling to my studio isn’t feasible and you’d like to bring me to your school or organization to do a presentation of my work and philosophy, I’m available for this as well. I enjoy the opportunity to share with students and professionals alike and I take great satisfaction from studio visits and critiques.
