Description
Members Only – Metal Makers Meet Up
Whether you’ve been laying down beads for years or you’ve never struck an arc, this is the club for you! The Metal Makers Meet Up is a gathering space for Forge members who love the sparks, the sizzle, and the satisfaction of turning raw steel into something real, from welded sculpture and garden art to furniture, brackets, and repairs.
Each month we’ll meet in the Metal Shop to share techniques, swap tips, and learn from one another. Sessions may include welding demos, plasma cutting (handheld and CNC), cutting and grinding, finishing techniques, and project brainstorming. Our members guide the topics, so if there’s something you want to learn or a skill you’d like to share, bring it to the group!
Stuck on a project? Bring it along. Our experienced metal members are happy to help you troubleshoot a weld, plan a build, or figure out the right tool for the job.
The format is open and informal, so come with your questions, your works in progress, your finished pieces, or simply your curiosity. It’s a great way to meet fellow makers, get inspired, and find collaborators for your next project.
You do not need to be Metal Shop Qualified to join this club! Non-qualified members are welcome to watch demos, ask questions, and learn alongside the group. Ready to start working on your own? Ask about our Metal Shop qualification classes.
All Forge members are welcome and encouraged to join. Please complete the interest form for more information, or just come to the meeting! You can also email spark@thecuriousforge.org with any questions.
Meets the first Thursday of every month, 4:00–6:00 PM
