The Eco-Tables class- where the students create the tables using recycled materials (both reclaimed steel & glass) just completed – here are some photos from the class!
The class first creating the table-tops, working with salvaged and recycled float glass.
After fusing the recycled glass, the tops were coldworked and made smooth.
Erwin Timmers – DC’s leading “Green-artist” outlines what is required to make the metal work support. Some students are overwhelmed.
Erwin outlines step-by-step the procedures to cut, weld and grind smooth the steelwork.
Teaching Assistant Laurie Brown supervises the metal working.
Soon, tables are marching out from the coldshop.
The students – some who have never cut glass or welded before – are amazed at their artwork and celebrate their progress. “What’s next?” is on each student’s mind.
The new class schedule is due out soon – Keep posted for the listing!
