Do you find Valentine's Day to be a cliché, mass-marketed to sell cheesy greeting cards and make independent souls feel low for going it solo? This month, The Crucible dares you to give romance a remodel! After all, who needs candlelight when you have a blowtorch? Lovers can re-ignite their passion at our “Couple's Weekend,” while learning to make original flaming arts from the heart. And for those unattached, come sample some sexy new skills with our “Singles Tasters.” Get ready to unzip your passion and slip into something creative!
Resolve to Create Winner!
And the winner for February is **Drum Roll Please**

 Singles Tasters
Just for saucy singles, we’ve fine-tuned our "Taster" sessions to double up as mixers for those who are on the lookout for love. You'll be able to explore the wonders of welding, fusing, slumping, and forging while you get your flirt on. Take a morning session and then enjoy some lunchtime mingling. If you decide to partake in a session later in the day, we'll provide a little wine and cheese for your afternoon delight.
 Valentine Couple's Weekend
If you have already found that special someone who makes your heart burn, then we’ve got fun new ways to stoke the flame some more. We’ve specially priced this weekend sessions for couples. Or, if you’ve got a youngster who fills your heart, those ages 12 and up can join in the festivities when accompanied by an adult.
