HotWorks Facilities, advisor
The hotworks facilities in the sculpture area began construction in the summer of 2014, and has continued into the spring semester of 2017. I, along with Logan Woodle, researched and chose machinery and tools, layouts, etc for the buildout of the facilities. Most recently, I acted as consultant, designer and fabricator for the Low Melt Kiln, which will be used in the creation of the Conway Critters initiative and the forthcoming Chanticleer statue
