- Lab Fees: Lab fees are listed with course descriptions. Lab fees cover the cost of essential class materials supplied by Ox-Bow, including fuel costs (if applicable), and costs of maintaining the studios. Lab fees are due at the time of registration.
**Please note that the lab fee structure for all METALS courses has been changed. Upon registration students will be charged a $50-$100 fee (for one and two-week classes respectively) to cover the costs of consumables such as gas and other studio overhead in the class. The lab fee will no longer include the cost of materials, such as steel, iron, bronze, aluminum, or silver, etc. All students will be charged a fee based upon how much material is used to complete all projects based on the weight of the metal and the fair market value of that material. Materials fees should be paid by the student on campus at the end of the class. Ox-Bow will inform each student of an estimate of materials costs in the supply list for each class. Prices will be posted in the studio when students arrive.
