Beginner Casting: Bird Feeders

The Metal Museum offers a roster of innovative and affordable classes in blacksmithing, welding, casting and non-ferrous metals. Whether it's a "taster," a three-hour, one-day or weekend workshop, you are sure to learn a lot, have fun and make beautiful metal items that you can be proud of.
 

In this half day class we will create a personalized bird feeder dish. Students will be molding and detailing a small dish using greensand that will be turned into a bird feeder using a chain so it can be hung on your porch or in your garden! You will be able to choose from several blank patterns and personalize your bird feeder with letters, natural textures such as leaves, or drawn impressions.
