Come have fun at the forge and learn the foundations of forging to grow your skills. Students will learn the fundamentals of heating the metal properly to avoid cracks and then the process of cooling slowly to avoid thermal shock. Lisa will cover the 5 basic forging techniques such as heating and cooling, drawing out, upsetting, and more, plus how to apply them to their creative or utilitarian practice. With guided projects, Lisa will cover tapers, upsetting, twisting, hot cutting and scrolling/bending. If time allows, students will also have the option of a fun forging challenge open for all to try! If you have experience and would like to use this workshop to try out some ideas and expand your skills, come join us! This workshop is open to all levels.
