From Thursday, March 15, through Saturday, March 17, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md., is offering a three-day bronze casting workshop in its working shipyard. Held from 9am-4pm on all three days, the workshop is for participants ages 16 and older, with class-size limited and advanced registration needed.

Participants will join nationally renowned sculpture artist and Shepherd University professor Christian Benefiel as he teaches the intricacies of casting bronze and aluminum, including creating molds, working the sand and furnace, and pouring molten metal. Participants will take home a working knowledge of casting metal along with their own creation.
