Description
Alchemy Industrial Arts is a registered 501(3)(c) nonprofit educational facility that fosters collaboration among the arts, industry and community.
Through training in the fine and industrial arts, we teach practical skills in the trades industry, cultivate individual creative expression, build self-confidence and encourage environmentally-friendly reuse of materials.
Our goal is to inspire an increased interest in the trades as an alternative to other accessible job opportunities in the machining, welding, and fabrication fields β as well as inspiring creativity and DIY learning opportunities for youth and adults.
We welcome all skills levels and all creative visions, and work to break down barriers for those who perceive the industrial arts as inaccessible.
We offer hands-on educational experiences in a uniquely safe, welcoming and non-competitive environment.
We foster a sense of belonging for our students and community members, and help them to create rich connections and to support one another through the process of development β regardless of whether an individual is working towards learning a trade, learning a skilled trade for practical application, or increasing creative capacity.
Our courses highlight the artistic and innovative design elements of these fields, focusing on inspiring creativity and providing learning opportunities for both the young and adults alike.
