Make Something With Your Own Two Hands
Join us for hands-on metalworking workshops where you can shape, twist, and create your own copper or steel piece to take home. It’s creative, it’s functional — and YES, you actually made it!
Not Just a Class — An Experience
At Oxcart Dreams, our workshops aren’t lectures. They’re interactive, messy, and just the right amount of challenging. Whether you’re forming a garden hook or crafting a copper heart, we guide you every step of the way. No experience needed. Just show up, get creative, and walk away with something uniquely yours.
