Overview
With views that overlook our wooded hillside, the Metal Studio is located on the second floor of the Turner Building. The studio features a central aisle of dedicated workbenches, with a bank of windows on one side and vented multi-use tables for casting, soldering, and finishing on the other. This vaulted studio is a jeweler’s favorite. Ideal for smaller metal work of all kinds, the long narrow space includes hammer and machine rooms, outdoor covered porch for larger fabrication, and a shared kiln room with the Sculptural Studio.
