Hold off on the refinery, because this mini-series workshop will have participants repurposing dirty, solder-covered scraps. Students will discover the textural possibilities of a seemingly ubiquitous yet often overlooked cornerstone of our benchtops – the firebrick! Be amazed at how an erratic, granular textured sheet of scrap can quickly be reinvigorated into something beautiful and practical.
