This workshop covers techniques in forging steel as well as working with copper and brass. Students will be introduced to a variety of tools and processes including fullering, bending, texturing, chiseling, using a jeweler’s saw, a vertical band saw, drilling holes, sanding, setting rivets, and patinating and finishing both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Participants should expect to bring home at least one functional object. Day 1 will focus on belt buckle design, tool function, and initial production of components, while day 2 will cover assembly and finishing. This workshop is recommended for those with some basic experience in either blacksmithing or fine metals, but is open to all participants. Belts not included.
