Brass Mobile Workshop

Build your own DIY mobile with our brass mobile kit and workshop collaboration with artist Sarah Perez of Electric Sun Creatives. Sarah leads us through a study in balance, composition, and design by working with sheet metal and brass tubing to create a sculptural brass mobile that’ll bring a glamorous touch to your home.

Learn how to manipulate metal using the tools and techniques that Sarah practices in her studio. You’ll get step-by-step instructions for three different mobile structures in two different sizes, so you can customize your own creation.

This workshop includes:

• A detailed, digital workshop by Sarah Perez
• A live and recorded Maker Chat Q&A for our community to join in creative conversation
• Tools and materials to create a unique brass mobile

The specialty tools and materials in our brass mobile kit include:

• 4-by-10-inch length of brass sheet metal, to make roughly 16-piece kinetic mobile 
• 2 yards of brass 16-gauge wire
• Tinner metal shears designed to carefully slice through soft metal
• Carbon steel metal punches, sizes 1.5 and 2mm
• Set of pliers

Happy making!
