If you’ve always wanted to take classes in welding, to fuse or blow glass, make jewelry, dance with fire, make bronze work, or learn other industrial arts, you’ve found the right place. At The Crucible, beginners are encouraged, and no experience is necessary. You can safely learn the skills you need while working on projects. Plus we offer workshops for youth ages 8-18 as well as families. If you’re an experienced artist or craftperson wanting to develop new skills, you can enroll in advanced classes—and take advantage of opportunities to use The Crucible’s facility and equipment. Enrolling in a Studio Access Lab gives you access to our equipment so that you can work on your own projects.
If you're in the area in the summer, you've got to check out the Fire Arts Festival these guys sponsor every summer. You can see pictures and get more information off their website, http://www.thecrucible.org/ I went this past month to the show in Oakland (right out in front of their place) and it was just insane... Crazy metal monstrous machines spewing gouts of flame fifty feet high and more, crazy people in metal cage suits playing with the lightning bolt-like arcs coming off a pair of giant Tesla coils... It was absolutely amazing. I've never seen or heard of anything like it, except maybe at Burning Man. An absolute must-see!
