This course serves as an introduction to basic primitive black-smithing techniques.  This is an intro level class with no prior experience necessary; however it is also an excellent way to refine technique, correct bad habits, get in needed ‘dirt time’ or the change the way you move with metal.

Students will learn:

*the proper use of tools and equipment

*steel types and usage

*testing to determine the working properties of a given steel

*essential forging techniques including flattening, stretching, rounding, bending, beveling and tapering

*decorative techniques such as twisting, scrolling, and texturing.

This is an intro level class with no prior experience necessary.
