This workshop is just right for you if you want to create sculptures out of metal!

Workshop host Tatjana Schinko came into contact with metal for the first time during her studies of spatial and design strategies at the University of Art & Design and has not been able to get away from it since. As a social design artist, she welds - her often mobile artworks - at the makerspace GRAND GARAGE, where she hosts welding and locksmithing in the metal workshop.
