The Yard is gearing up for another great season of building, cutting,
bending, and throwing. In addition to our regular lineup of courses we
have some really exciting new offerings.
In Hollowware with Patrick McMillan students will explore metalsmithing
and learn basic raising, sinking, and fabrication in order to form their
own vessels from copper sheet.
Students working with Heather Guidero in Casting: Jewelry and Other Small
Objects will learn the art of lost wax casting, a great method for
producing one-of-a-kind objects as well as a whole run of identical
copies. This course is a must for anyone interested in starting their own
jewelry business.
Eye of the Beholder is wheel and hand-building course just for 14 to 18
year-olds. This new offering encourages students to look beyond simple
cups and bowls and explore the creative potential of the ceramic vessel.
Courses start soon, so visit our website (www.thesteelyard.org) to check
out all the listings and register online.

A TIGER in the DARK is a story based on true events. Its follows the exploits of one man [Drew Evans] as he aspires to accomplish the impossible. After countless failures he is ready to cave in and assume an ordinary role in society. Yet, by mere chance he encounters two individuals that show him just how powerful dreams can be. However, all soon starts to crumble as jealousy consumes former friends and allies. It isn’t long until his choices inevitably alter his destiny and force him to leave all those he ever cared about behind. As time passes and stray thoughts of submitting to the anguish inside him overtake his rational, Drew Evans must once and for all find the courage to become what no one though the could.
