About This Class

Come have fun and try your hand at the time-honored DIY craft of shaping, tapering, splitting, twisting, and punching steel to create art, jewelry, and functional items.

In this class you will learn the skills you need to begin forging steel in true Maker fashion. Proper hammer strokes, anvil techniques, stance, forge etiquette/management, history of the craft, and safety are emphasized. You will create a useful custom wall hook during the two 2-hour class series. Once complete, you will be certified to come back and use the DIYcave Forge on your own.
