  Class Description: Ever wonder what is actually happening inside the "magic black boxes" of modern technology? In this hands-on introductory workshop, you'll pull back the curtain on digital electronics. We will cover the absolute fundamentals of electricity, voltage, and current, and introduce the component that sparked the digital revolution: The Transistor.

  Using a solderless breadboard, you will build a functioning transistor-controlled LED switch circuit from scratch, and you get to keep the hardware kit (including the breadboard and power module) to continue experimenting at home! No prior electronics experience required.

  Class Restrictions: Age restriction will be 14+. All minors must register alongside a participating adult.

  About the Instructor: Shihanur Tahmid is an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the founder of ElectroSpark CAS. Deeply passionate about hardware architecture and semiconductor fundamentals, Shihanur specializes in breaking down complex technical concepts into hands-on, practical engineering experiences. His goal is to demystify the "black boxes" of modern electronics and show students how everyday computing functions are built from the silicon up.

  In this class we will learn the folding, tying, and dyeing of the mandala and similar designs. By the end of this class you'll know how to prepare your fabric and create your design. We focus on a technique using sinew for our main tie design. 

  About the Instructor: Garrett began teaching at a young age, first as a martial arts instructor and later at a trade school for massage therapy. While teaching massage, he found a glass studio in town and was accepted as an apprentice under Daniel Bell of Red Flower Studios and Jeremy Thomley of Hot Glass Mississippi. After about a year, Garrett was hired on as an assistant in the shop. For 2 years he assisted full time in the studio while honing his glass basics. The shop focused on customer experiences and instruction. In an industry where most artists are fighting for four hours of furnace time Garrett was thrown into 12 hour days 6 days a week. After his assistantship Garrett was placed in charge of student glass experiences for 2 seasons.

  During the off time he found his way out to Utah and Texas for more education and glass work experience in other studios. After moving to Birmingham , Garrett began growing his education in furnace building with the help of Charlie Correll of Correll glass studio and now has his own portable furnace for demos and classes on the go allowing him to open his own studio: Whimsies Hot Glass. The name comes from an old glassblowing term for the creative items a glassblower may get to make at the end of the work day for themselves; whimsies are all the beginnings of glassblowers personal creativity and so it will be your beginning as well! While his focus and passion is in student experiences, blow your owns and classes Garrett's personal work can be found at local artist and makers markets in the Birmingham area.

  What to wear: At RMM, you must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing (100% cotton), long pants, and closed-toe, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back.

  In the intermediate glassblowers class we will explore the blowing portion of glass work. Starting with a "seed bubble" we hope to grow our seed into basic forms in glass like the tumbler or ornament. Shaping and focusing on the centering aspect of our work. Team exercises are inevitable in glass and we will be working as a team to help each other reach our desired design. Blowing glass adds a much more detailed focus in glass as opposed to sculpting and requires swift but purposeful movements to get where we want. In this class attention to movement is a large part. If you move right, the glass will move right. This class is taught by Garrett of Whimsies Hot Glass.

  TIG welding is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys. The process grants the operator greater control over the weld than competing processes such as MIG welding, allowing for stronger, higher quality welds. Students will have the opportunity to learn the basic techniques of the TIG process and practice with feedback from an expert. It is recommended to take the basic Intro to welding (MIG) class before this TIG class. 

  What to wear: At RMM, you must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing (100% cotton), long pants, and closed-toe, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back. Nylon, polyester, spandex, or other synthetics are not allowed around machines, equipment, or processes that can produce hot fragments, sparks, or flames. Additional protective gear will be provided as needed.

  For eons, the spear has stood among mankind’s most enduring and influential tools — a weapon
  of war, an instrument of survival, and a symbol of craftsmanship that shaped the course of human history. From the hunting grounds of early civilizations to the battlefields of great kingdoms, the spear has remained a testament to ingenuity, skill, and purpose.
  
  In this immersive hands-on class, students will be guided through the complete process of designing, forging, and crafting their own spear from raw materials to finished weapon. Beginning at the forge, students will learn the traditional methods used to shape and refine a steel spearhead through heat, hammer, and anvil. Instruction will then continue through fitting, finishing, and mounting the forged head onto a properly crafted wooden shaft, bringing together
  both metalworking and woodworking techniques into one unified project. More than simply building a weapon, this course explores the historical significance, functional design, and artistry behind one of humanity’s oldest and most effective tools. Students will gain
  practical forging experience, an understanding of traditional craftsmanship, and the satisfaction of creating a fully realized piece by hand — a work that reflects both ancient tradition and personal skill.

  Task involved - (shaping, assembly, measuring, marking, utilizing the press, hammering, fitting, gluing, and temp control)

  Prerequisites: We recommend you  complete a beginner blacksmithing class such as Forging Nails prior to taking this class, or having previous experience.

  Prior welding experience, such as the Intro to MIG class, is required for this course. 

  In this welding project class, under the guidance of a fabrication instructor, you will learn and apply basic fabrication skills while constructing a functional footstool (15"x15"x12") using 1” square tubing and 1/8" sheet metal. The focus of the class is to learn a variety of functional metal working skills; how to read a measuring tape, proper fit-up technique, distortion control, how to ensure a square, and finally the opportunity to apply your welding skills in welding and grinding your project stool. 

  About the Instructor: My name is Jon Webber. I've accumulated 10 years experience working as a production welder and eventually owned my own fabrication business. I look forward to passing on some of what I've learned to the next generation of welders and hobbyists alike! The best part of this class: You'll not only your improve your skills, but also get to take your impressive foot stool home when you're done!

  This class will introduce the process of annealing and working nonferrous metals as opposed to ferrous or “iron bearing” metals. In the first half of class students will construct a steel cloak pin primarily using the forge and horn of the anvil with various forming techniques to create decorative twist and patterns to successfully form and fit two pieces together. In the second half of class students  will construct a woven copper bracelet utilizing a torch to soften the metal in a process called “annealing” to easily form decorative twist and weave the metal. Students will be shown how to use tongs, measure, and cut their own metal. No prior classes or prerequisites are required to take this class.

  In this class students will forge high carbon steel hammer heads into an axe head. Students will be tasked with using the shop press, fitting a wooden handle, and honing an edge. Planning and preparation are key factors utilized in creating a functional piece. With that said, the head of the axe will have to fit a standard axe handle. After completing the forging, students will then proceed to refine and sharpen their axe by grinding, filing, and sanding as needed

  Task involved - (shaping, assembly, measuring, marking, utilizing the press, hammering, fitting, gluing, and temp control)

  Prerequisites: We recommend you  complete a beginner blacksmithing class such as Forging Nails prior to taking this class, or having previous experience.
