A DESIGN-BUILD ADVENTURE IN HEAVY METAL

 

Calling all music enthusiasts and creative types. On April 19-21, we’re hosting A Design-Build Adventure in Heavy Metal. During this 2.5-day workshop, you will get the chance to flex your creative muscle, learn a little about design, work with power tools and create something entirely unique out of steel. The adventure will culminate with a special, invitation-only party and silent auction that showcases the heavy metal masterpiece created during the workshop. Auction proceeds and donations collected at the party will benefit the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM).

A Design-Build Adventure in Heavy Metal will take place at the recently relocated Design Build Adventure studio in Hornsby Bend, just nine miles east of Austin on FM 969. Five acres of Central Texas prairieland — marked by sprawling pecan trees, a campfire pit, main house, tool shop and small performance stage — will serve as the setting for all activities.

This weekend workshop is not a formal school or certification program. It’s about engaging in the creative process while supporting a nonprofit that keeps Austin’s creative community healthy. People with all levels of design-build experience — and that includes having no experience — are encouraged to come on this adventure. Adventurers will learn basic metal-cutting, bending and welding techniques and participate in a collaborative design-build project.

HAAM and Heartless Bastards bassist Jesse Ebaugh are working together to ensure A Design-Build Adventure in Heavy Metal incorporates plenty of live music.

A $550 tuition includes:
*  a design-build adventure starter kit;
*  20 hours of design/build instruction and working with tools and materials;
*  breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday;
*  campfire happy hour with special musical guests on Friday and Saturday evening;
*  Sunday dinner by Rene Ortiz, executive chef of Austin’s La Condesa and Sway;
*  Invitation-only HAAM silent auction and party with special musical guests.
