The Build Guild presents a unique two-part workshop: Sand Casting Ceramic Sculptures Into Metal. Led by local metalsmith Ira Houseweart and ceramic artist Ivy Hunter, this hands-on experience invites participants to create forms inspired by the North Fork Valley—think birds, bugs, fruits, cows, and antlers.

Part 1 (March 7th, 10 am–2 pm): Meet at The Hearth in Paonia to sculpt your clay figures.
Part 2 (March 21st, Noon–4 pm): Gather at Ira’s FORGE on Roger’s Mesa to transform your clay designs into metal using sand casting.

This all-ages, beginner-friendly workshop is offered on a gift model: $40/day includes a meal and workshop, or $25/day for just the workshop. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
