Course - ‘Metalwork for Designers’

This workshop day-course is aimed at designers, artists and engineers who are looking for a practical grounding in the materials and processes to help them when outsourcing metal production.

It is generally the role of the fabricator to help guide a clients idea through to production, however, I feel that knowledge of metals and their processes can empower a customer and lead to a quicker, simpler and cheaper route to production. That is the aim of this course.

The course covers a huge range of information with demonstrations of materials and processes that are regularly used within the creative industry. You will also have a chance to try them yourself - From MIG/TIG welding, brazing, soldering, distortion from welding, bending, sheet metal design, tab and slot, surface finishing, machining on the lath and mill (manual and CNC demonstrations), powdercoating, etc etc.

The day is run by Sam Fish who draws on 12 years of experience fabricating metalwork for designers and artists. That experience is sometimes learnt the hard way and there are tips and tricks Sam is keen to pass on.

We can also tailor a day and course around your practice and projects. Please get in touch to discuss further.

“Thank you so much for the ‘Metalwork for Designers’ course which was so comprehensive and super useful. It has definitely given us loads to think about in terms of how we detail up and specify the things we design, and armed us with some top insider fabrication knowledge. 

— Evonne Mackenzie, Senior designer at V&A Museum
