In this hands-on blacksmithing workshop, students will explore the process of creating small mosaic and random-pattern Damascus billets. Beginning with the fundamentals of forge welding, students will learn how to assemble mosaic patterns, create twist patterns, and use plug welds to produce distinctive designs in pattern-welded steel. Once the billets are complete, students will transform them into functional and decorative objects. Projects will include forging a knife and learning the proper techniques for hardening and tempering the blade. Students may also create smaller pieces, such as a Damascus pendant, bead, or bracelet. The workshop will conclude with polishing and etching techniques that reveal the layers, contrast, and individual character of each Damascus pattern.
