SCUL has moved! We have now joined forces with the Artisan’s Asylum. From the ‘about us’ page:

Artisan’s Asylum, Inc. is a non-profit community craft studio located near Union Square in Somerville, Massachusetts.

Our mission is to support and promote the teaching, learning and practicing of craft of all varieties. To support that mission, we intend to offer the following:

• A fully equipped and professionally maintained manufacturing facility, which will include but is not limited to precision metal machining, electrical fabrication, welding, woodworking, fabricwork, cooking, painting, photography, jewelrymaking and more.
• Monthly and daily membership plans for the general public to access said facility on weekends and after working hours to encourage DIY culture and community craftsmanship
• A large range of affordable, publicly-accessible classes offered by local artisans, either focusing on creating a final product the student can take home after the class or general training for specific tools
• Affordable daytime space and equipment rental to local professional artists and businesspeople interested in having access to industrial-grade manufacturing equipment and a dedicated manufacturing environment without having to invest in capital equipment and long-term space leases
• On-site material storage and resale and on-site project storage, allowing community members to create and store projects without the hassle of handling material and storage logistics
• Hosting and promotion of local craft-related events

Take a look at the Classes. I’m teaching three TIG welding classes. Friday nights are still open.

I’m teaching a class starting Thursday:

Building Art Bikes
Dates: Thursdays – July 8th, July 15th, July 22nd, July 29th, August 5th, August 12th
Time: 7 PM – 10 PM
Location: 561 Windsor St, Unit A306, Somerville MA
Cost: $200

Pick out a cheap bike from Bikes Not Bombs, chop it up, weld it back together in a fun wacky way, and turn it into a rolling work of art that only you can figure out how to ride. No experience necessary, as the class will be taught by a professional bike welder who can take your idea and weld it into reality. No Joining Fee is required for this class. Students will be expected to purchase a used bike and enough structural materials to satisfy their artistic needs, which can range anywhere from $60 to however much more you want to spend.

As promised, here’s a look at the trophies commissioned for IFF Boston.

Didn’t take long to pick out a torso, head and feet.

I had a Cinderella night last night, culminating in meeting the charming Kevin Kline. The fine folks of IFF Boston commissioned me to make him his career achievement award.
