The Philadelphia Sculpture Gym is FANTASTIC and so very unique! If you have any interest in learning how to forge, cast, weld, do woodwork, make jewelry, etc., you can use your hands, your imagination and some well-loved tools to make something amazing in this place. Darla taught the first class I ever attended: Forging~Bottle Opener and she was very patient and communicative. The classes are listed with a start and end time but I’m pretty sure I was there WAY longer than planned trying to complete my project. Still, no one rushed me and I ended up with a beautiful creation and a great experience. If it’s your first time, don’t forget to take the safety course before your first class ~ it’s more like site orientation because you’ll get to see ALL of the tools at your disposal and your guide will show you how each one works. The safety course will serve to feed brainstorms not boredom! Next up: Welding 101!

Took the Welding I class here with Gus as the instructor. Excellent class– Gus clearly explained all the techniques and nuances, corrected us as we welded, and was happy to answer any and all questions we had. The entire space is beautiful and well setup for all types of projects/classes. Darla(the owner) was super friendly and easy to work with. Hoghly recommended!
