Teaching
With Kids
Brennan brings his love for experimentation into the classroom in the form of STEAM, project-based learning. He teaches with an eye for problem-solving and encourages students to find unexpected opportunities within the constraints of a chosen material. Brennan connects the artmaking process with the processes of architecture and design by incorporating applicable science concepts like tensile and shear strength, kinetics, and light and shadow. As you can see in the photos above, Brennan makes use of simple, accessible materials like foil and cardboard.

In a small group of 4 students, Brennan Hubbell will introduce you to blacksmithing and metal art at the world-renowned studio of James Hubbell. Each student will create a forged iron hook [or similar-sized iron object] to take home. Students will learn how to heat, bend, hammer, and twist hot iron using a propane forge. In this indoor studio setting participants should be prepared to stand, bend, lift and be generally physical during the workshop. All participants will be asked to wear safety equipment and practice safety protocols. Participants will share anvil time and help one another complete metalworking tasks.
