Blacksmithing Project Shop: Whimsical Wand Forging

In this workshop, you'll learn how to use a hammer and flame to fashion a piece of metal into a wand of iron as well as a familiar/companion piece for your wand. Through these pieces, the basics of forging will be covered: tapering, twisting, scrolling, upsetting, as well as other forms of bending, shaping, and finishing. As time and interest allow, we can also explore specialized techniques such as punching, chiseling, engraving, and sparkling (a finishing technique invented by the instructor!).

Open to all skill levels -- no experience necessary.

$110 ($90 tuition + $20 materials)
Open to ages 16 and up.
