The Metal Museum offers various education programs ranging from public demonstrations to middle and high school programs to blacksmithing and casting. Metalsmithing and foundry classes are taught on site. Classes start at beginner levels and go to advanced specialized sessions. After students take a basic class, they are eligible to use the Metal Museum's shop facilities (Membership at the $250 level required). The Metal Museum also offers acid/copper etching, silver bracelet fabrication and aluminum casting for children and participates in the Memphis City Schools Summer Arts Program.
