This 7-week course is for students who want to take a deeper dive into the fundamentals of forging different decorative and practical items. We’ll focus on the basic processes of blacksmithing: (1) drawing down, (2) upsetting, (3) bending, (3) twisting, (5) spreading, (6) punching, (7) slitting, and (8) forge welding. That’s eight processes covered in seven weeks!
This will be a faster-paced class where each week focuses on projects that combine one or more process in the final piece. Objects you forge will include nails, hooks, firepit pokers, eating utensils, bottle openers, leaf pendants, and perhaps more ambitious projects depending on our progress!
This class includes free open studio sessions to allow students to practice and refine the skills they learn in class.
LIMITED TO FIVE STUDENTS; SIGN UP WITH THE STEEL YARD IN PROVIDENCE, RI, TO ATTEND.
