Enrollment: Advance sign up. First come, first serve basis.
Sign-up by 01/01
Limited to 8 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: None
The seminar is an introduction to the basic operation of a scanning electron microscope. The basic operating principles will be covered and the attendees will be trained on the use of the microscope.
This is a modern scanning electron microscope with several advanced features: low pressure chamber, computer controlled positioning stage. The SEM is equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscopy system for elemental analysis. Attendees will also be familiarized with the operation and capabilities of the EDS system. Attendees are encouraged to bring samples for exploration.

Enameling is the process of fusing powdered glass to copper, steel or silver resulting in a glossy, colorful finish. Students in this class will gain a clear understanding on how to work with glass on metal through the exploration of enameling techniques such asstenciling, sgraffito, cloisonné, and champlevé. We will work with both flat and formed pieces to create jewelry and sculptural objects. Previous metal work experience is beneficial, however the only prerequisite is fearlessness to experiment.

Introduction to Metal Casting
Mike Tarkanian
Enrollment: ENROLLMENT CLOSED: CLASS FULL
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: None
Students in this class will learn the techniques necessary for investment casting metals. We’ll first make models of the items to be cast – either by sculpting wax into the desired shape, or by casting wax into a rubber mold of an existing object. We will then build ceramic shells around the models, burn out the wax, and cast molten bronze, brass or aluminum into the resulting mold.
