• Introduction to Blacksmithing for Women
This workshop is run by woman and intended only for individuals who identify as women or as an underrepresented gender. It is tailored for those who have little to no experience with steel and fire.
This one-day workshop will be led by special guest to be announced soon. The workshop will provide an overview of the practice: primary tools, safety precautions, creative possibilities and most importantly a hands-on practical experience in moving metal. Participants will learn that blacksmithing isn’t about brute strength, it requires finesse and patience to accurately shape steel. Learning to manage a coke fired forge, students will focus on the fundamental techniques involved in traditional blacksmithing: manipulating metal, tapering, pointing, spreading, punching and scrolling.
Upon completion of the course, students will leave with a finished object of their own creation.
