It’s that time of year again when we open the big roll-up door to our 56,000 square-foot studios to the entire community, so come on down for a visit! Wander though our massive facility, watch demonstrations in blacksmithing, welding, or glassworking, and witness a live metal pour in our foundry. This FREE family-friendly event also includes exciting live performances, an expo of organizations serving Oakland communities, food and beverages, and an art show highlighting the talents of Crucible students and teachers.
Come visit and get acquainted….then come back for a class where you can learn to make some art of your own!
