Blacksmithing Fundamentals Workshop
June 10 - June 14
$975This class is designed for people with little or no experience in blacksmithing. We’ll cover the basic theory and practice in the craft, introductory metallurgy, and basic tool design and use. Each day will involve demonstrations of basic techniques and projects, with most of the time spent with students working on projects that involve the practice of the foundational techniques. We’ll learn how to draw out material, square and round it effectively, upset it, make basic joints, punch and drift holes, and elementary forge welding. Students can do personal work based on the demonstrations and are also encouraged to come up with ideas of things they would like to make. This class will prepare students with less experience for the intermediate classes to follow.
Skill Level: Basic
June 10 through June 14, 2024.
