Glass studio, foundry, ceramics workshop — Salem Art Works offers maker spaces for many kinds of art and craft — and many of them involve intense heat. They offer classes and workshops year-round, art exhibits and an outdoor sculpture park, and an annual festival of fire in September … and artwork for sale through the SAW store. In warm weather they also hold concerts and community events outdoors.
