Our winter snowflake skill-building class just ended, and it was a huge success. During four evening classes, each of our students made a number of snowflakes out of sheet metal. Starting on the first day with aluminum, we went though the process of designing a project with an eye to what steps would be needed to complete it and in what order they needed to be done. We then covered how to use shears and chisels to cut the material as well as how to drill holes with the drill press, and then how to shape it with punches, hammers, and different kinds of bending. On the second day we worked with stainless steel. Stainless, a much harder and more resilient metal than aluminum, required the

use of the plasma cutter, angle grinders, and hand files to cut and surface each snowflake. Having worked with both the soft, pliable aluminum and tough, springy stainless steel, on the third and fourth days, everyone got to work turning their snowflake designs into two- and three-dimensional pieces of art.
From their first aluminum project on day one, everyone in the class made a series of beautiful snowflakes, no two even remotely alike. Not to be hemmed in, they also produced a few flowers, a couple of candle holders, and an amazing pair of hammered horse shoes. Once they’d been shown the basics, the snowflakers applied them creatively to come

up with new techniques, and on each successive day we saw new ways of using the previous day’s innovations. By the fourth day we saw them doing things we had not
thought to teach, and a few that we hadn’t even seen ourselves.
Many of the class’ snowflakes will be on display at our December 8th holiday fundraiser, and we look forward to seeing all of our students in future classes and working on future Flux art projects!
