Beginning: No Experience necessary. Just the desire to learn. This
class will teach the basics of blacksmithing. Including... drawing out,
upsetting, twisting, bending, fullering, punching, and cutting. It will
also cover forging dynamics, safety and three H's. At the end of this
class you will have an understanding and ability to use these basics.
And will have accomplished this by completing three projects. You will
make a key fob with leaf, a letter opener and a J hook. Completing
these three projects are the goal.... it's possible to complete more
projects depending on the individual.
Intermediate: requires knowledge of the basics, and some forging
experience. This class takes the basic knowledge and experience to the
next level. The goal is to make either a fireplace set, a candelabra or
a similar project. Using all the basic forging techniques in the
beginning class.
Advanced: Requires the completion of an intermediate class and at least
a year forging experience. And an approved design for the class project
that can be completed in a week. This class is structured towards the
individuals needs and goals.
Other Classes: in forged, fabricated and cast jewelry, lost wax
casting, wax design and carving, mold making, among others. "The only
thing that I enjoy as much as using these processes....is teaching them
to others"
