Copper Cookware

Create functional copper cookware at the Carrie Blast Furnaces!

This 2-day intermediate-level workshop is an excellent way to build your copper smithing skills focusing on developing, raising and forging techniques. Working primarily in copper and steel, participants will explore methods for creating functional copper cooking pots and pans. The project will focus on producing a copper omelet pan with a forged steel handle. Topics covered will include forming and raising copper, forging steel pot handles, riveting and how to tin coat copper surfaces. Some experience with forging and metal forming is highly recommended. These sessions are led by local artist and metalsmith Glen Gardner (aka GSG Studio) along with Rivers of Steel staff.

A $75 materials fee is included in the cost of registration.
