About

This workshop is open for beginner to advanced students. It is focused on teaching

students how to take their ideas into a physical, forged object. The class will cover

forging techniques, technical design layout, order of operations, as well as how to

assemble forged elements. This class is focused on forging a piece of art to

be worn around the neck. The techniques covered in this class transfer to all concept-to-completion projects!

At the beginning of the week, students will focus on practicing the various forging

methods demonstrated. There will be short forging assignments to build the skills

needed to construct and design an individual piece. The rest of the week the

students will design and problem-solve with the guidance of the instructor.

The class will focus on creating balanced symmetry in steel by using repetition of

form, hammer control, material isolation, and movement. Students will design an

object that becomes personal and alive when worn on the body. Demonstrations

will cover various organic design elements, inspired by Ellen Durkan’s personal

work.

This class is open to all levels. Class includes safe shop practices, fire management, efficient hammer techniques, and basic forging. All safety equipment and materials will be provided. 9 AM till 5 PM Monday through Thursday, 9 AM till Noon Friday. Tuition $650
