Blacksmithing
Blacksmithing is the process of heating steel in a forge and using a hammer and anvil to bend it into different shapes. In the past, blacksmiths were responsible for creating items such as nails, furniture, locks, horseshoes, weapons, and other tools. Today, contemporary blacksmiths still create functional tools and architectural elements as well as decorative art pieces.
Fine Metals/Jewelry
In addition to ferrous metals, or metals that contain iron, there are a number of other non-ferrous materials and ​processes to be explored in our studios. Copper can be used to create works of jewelry and containers, and enameling is a process of fusing powdered glass to the surface of metal. Other classes may cover topics such as riveting, sawing, and bezel setting.
